One man's infrastructure is another man's white elephant project.

TonyeBarcanista:

So you think putting infrastructure on ground is not in your best interest?

IBBG:
Our politicans just embark on projects to gain media applause without sitting down to think critically about the opportunity cost in the economy of the state. What we lack in this part of the world is efficient allocation of resources to maximize output and mitigate the law of diminishing returns

Dasherz:
so the billions spent on the previous project will go to waste?

More pics

With state of the art medical facilities

As beautiful as such a place may be it will definitely be blighted by one of the often recurring setback of misplaced priority and wrong location of projects. If in doubt read about DELSUTH, Oghara. established by Ibori.

YoungFr:
you're very correct, I was shocked when I went to Otefe and saw such a beautiful structure in such location where only few can locate, it's just so shameful such stranded hospital is in a death location

In 2011, when the accreditation team of West African Postgraduate Medical College went there for assessment, I was stupefied at the surprise displayed by members of the team at what was on display. At the end, the leader of the team made one solemn remark:a place that cannot sustain itself and whose services are beyond the reach of the local populace cannot survive.They, however proffered solutions, of course not binding.

Nothing is wrong with the location. The only problem is the lack of proper access roads, adequate funding and infrastructure, to enable patients access its facilities, and support the hospital's growth. Most tertiary hospitals in the past, were often built on the outskirts of the town or the city, where there was a huge expanse of land, so that adequate space for future expansion could be secured. Patients and sick people will always go to where they can find adequate medical treatment to relieve their condition, regardless of how far the place is located.

I have seen patients leave Warri, and come to Lagos for medical treatment. Others have left Ughelli to go to Abuja and Port-harcourt, just to receive specialised medical care.

Many of such locations later became a beehive of activities, as development efforts grew in that direction, and people moved closer to the location of such hospitals, to work, live and study. The presence of such medical facilities, also gave rise to additional commercial activities. You would find small scale businesses like chemists, cleaning & laundry services, eateries or restaurants, medical supplies etc being set up around such hospitals by private individuals, to provide services to patients and workers who patronise the hospital.

Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was set up in 1962 in an area called Idi-Araba, on the outskirts of a poor neighbourhood called Mushin in Lagos, in 1962. Idi-Araba was like a village then, sandwiched between a very bushy settlement. Each time it rained, the road leading to the hospital got flooded, and became like a mini-river. My uncles were medical interns in the hospital at that time, and they saw first-hand, how the whole place developed. With time, several small businesses sprung up in the vicinity of the town, and today development has caught up with the area, and it is now firmly in the centre of town. Cost of property in that area, now runs into millions.

Akwa Ibom is the only state that can boast of development across every sector. This is unlike some whose greatest projects are graveyards, tea and bread business, wheelbarrow, owing of salaries of workforce for months, endless killings and cultism.

Blue3k:


You tagged me wrong. He knows and has responded to articles posted. The subject about these health care is like anything else hype. My relation went to teaching hospital and the service was a mess.

PS: Everyone asking about the specialist hospital should know they did get new managers from Canada. I dont know if the have full scale operations. Last bit of news I heard was the did a brain surgery a month before new management stepped in.
