President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the construction and equipping of a 14-bed space presidential clinic at a cost of N21 billion.

The Permanent Secretary, State House, Umar Tijjani, made the disclosure to members of the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs while presenting the 2022 budget for consideration.

He said that Julius Berger Nigeria (JBN) will construct the VIP clinic and the physical construction will start on November 1, with a commissioning date set for December 31, 2022.

The permanent secretary explained that the presidential clinic was ‘conceived in 2012 by the previous administration and the brief was produced. It was estimated about N21 billion and facility contains 14-bed space without a total area of 2,700 square meters, there will be an underground and the first floor.

Other facilities, according to Tijani, will include two operating theatres, two executive suites and a six-bed isolation area. He said that there will be a laboratory, healing garden, pharmacy and X-ray facility.

Most of the preliminary work has been concluded,’ he said. ‘Mr President has approved the project. We have gone Bureau of Public Procurement to get Certificate of No Objection.’

He told the committee that JBN was chosen as the contractor, having built the State House and having been maintaining it since 1990.

He said the clinic will be opened to other Africa countries for medical treatment. A members of the Committee, Senator Nicolas Tofowomo, however expressed dissatisfaction with the failure of the Permanent Secretary of State House to show the committee a pictoral rendering of the planned hospital.

Nevertheless, other members of the Committee led by the Chairman, Senator Danjuma La’ah, commended the initiative of the Federal Government for the construction and equipping of the presidential wing of the State House clinic.

14 bed space clinic for 21 billion naira making it 1. Something billion naira for a bed space.

This govt only borrow to squander despite ongoing hardship in the land.

This guys are usins all means to raise fund for their selfish purpose ie

They borrow to share , mapped out project and share it capital.

21b for 14 bed space?

MRDEE01:
21b for 14 bed space?

Money that he and his cronies will still embezzle. Even at that, he and his family will still run to London just for toothache treatment. Money that would build several good hospitals across the country.

Slow and steady we will get to the country of our dreams.

chukel:
very erroneous and mischievous calculation. 21bn may be a bit much, but don't equate it to 14 beds. That's crass ignorance. That hospital will be fully equipped. Find out the cost of the latest MRI machine to start with. The 2 theatres there will be state of the art. I believe the physical building will not cost much, but equipping it to world standard is the koko.

plaindealer:
Today they will shout and wail that the president travel abroad for medical treatment because he did not build hospital, tomorrow they will still wail and lament because he is building hospital instead of going abroad for medical treatment.


This is the confused, hateful, bitter and frustrated life of wailing Igbos...


God bless PMB..

Do not mind them.
They are just so pathetic in life.
The same project that their thieving fathers looted the money and shared about themselves.
And these blind and senseless hypocrites are still wailing about someone who has decided to build a world class hospital in Nigeria and many other infrastructures they can see with their eyes and not on paper?
What a way to live life.
Life of an online fraudsters supporting looters,
They are only pained that the corrupt money they are used to is no more flowing.
Barawos dem

21 billion naira for clinic they will not use, but rather travel out of the country to seek for better medical attention?

I hope the money will be used for the clinic sha? It might just be amother way to siphon our money

Wailers that their thieving fathers couldn't do this or even construct their national headquarters in 16 wasted years will always wail.

They rather loot and share the money among themselves.

Children of hate, frustrations and perdition.
Fraudsters and miserable fellowship everywhere

Apst:

People like u posterity will haunt ur generation for long.

AMEN in Jesus name.
Insha Allah.
Posterity will judge us all.
(We claim that in Jesus name).
Anybody in this nation supporting criminals, thieves that looted our national treasury and put our nation unto the part of recession, no matter the part they are in, will never ever progress in life,
Bad and evil things will always knock on thier doorsteps as long as they live.
So shall it be.
It is written.

We Rise

plaindealer:



They did not cry and wail when their looting and stealing PDP uncles left the project dead on the drawing board since 2012, not that PMB is stepping up to start and complete the project, they must now wail and cry endlessly..


I've never seen these kinds of people before in my life, nothing good makes them happy, they are all about hatred, sadness and bitterness.

That is the kinda pathetic and sorry lives they all live.
That are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, suffering from collective amnesia.

This inept and rogue regime of Buhari is the most corrupt regime ever.

their darling daddy,by the time you leave office you must have completed your promise of moving the country from change to a complete next level.then hand over to another old bad wagon to take it to finish level.tinubu thunder fire you and those idoits that help bring this bad market to rule this nation

How?
By spending N21 billion for a clinic?
Keep defending incompetence and corruption.

I am confused....

What happened to the Aso Rock Clinic?

Why not use a fraction of that 21billion to refurbish or upgrade the existing clinic instead of spending that whopping amount to commission another hospital?

Do you have any idea how many public schools or hospitals can be refurbished with that amount

Please someone should help me with the amtvbudgeted for each teaching hospitals for the yr 2020

There was never pandemic in Nigeria called covid
These politicians in power are the real pandemic

We need good hospitals

And some people are saying we should not wish him death.

If you had any sense, you'd know that we already have a presidential clinic! One that has billions of naira budgeted for it annually, which buhari doesn't use.

For your information too, before buhari came into power, that hospital was upgraded by the previous administration and more recent state of the art machines installed.

Now if buhari suddenly has has a change of mind from wasting our scarce Forex on medical tourism, What happened to upgrading the previous clinic? Must everything be partisan with you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself like this? Who did this to you?
