The Niger State Government has spent over N3 billion on the completion and maintenance of the new neonatal hospital in Minna.

The Commissioner for Health, Dr mustapha Mohammed jibrin, disclosed this at the ministerial press briefing on Thursday.

He said the government met a debt profile of N500 million meant for the completion of the neonatal centre.

He said the debt had been offset with additional N70 million rolled out on a monthly basis to sustain a provision of N840 million earmarked annually for its operation.

“The administration of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has employed 500 health workers and 100 midwifes to fill the gap of its deficit and ongoing employment of another 250 to ensure adequate health workers for effective and efficient service delivery in the areas of Primary Health Care PHC provisions is ongoing “, he said.

He also said the government had raised the budgetary allocation of the ministry of health from 6 percent and 8 percent to 14 percent, adding that state would soon meet the Abuja declaration of 15 percent budgetary allocation to the health sector.

He said the state was close to setting up a health insurance scheme for which about N500 million had been earmarked in the 2019 appropriation.

Thieves.

Really? I know of a very good one in Lagos called Outreach Women and Children hospital at Festac....I think they are the only one in the whole of Lagos someone please correct me.....

They handle cases as delicate as 25, 26 weeker babies and get them to live.....

I can confidently tell anyone who cares to listen dat Niger state is an embarassment of a state... No sign of improvement or development at all. Terrible roads and despite being a so called power state have nothing to show for it

O Niger my darling state. Who do us this strong thing?. Is it the men at the top? .
Diariz God o

That State is hardly in the news, despite being the home of former Heads of State.

hmmmm 500 million spent the rest don port.

I'm a nigerlite. Where is the hospital o. LOLO is a very big thief

it's sad to say, but my happiness is that the pangs of corruption negatively affect both APC and PDP supporters.

and it respects no ethnic group.

wailers and zombies, keep fooling yourselves.

Hmm! APC power to the zombies...

Contract racketeering, inflating and kick backs are their stock in trade.

The Commissioner needed to have given a breakdown of this huge cost for people to analyze and verify.

Almost a double of what it took the former Governor to build the facility.

Hmmmm...

Likes to Nigeria and Share to our corrupt politicians...

I want to believe you are been sarcastic... But if not then you are very unaware of what is truly going on. That hospital was built and commissioned during talbas administration so that this administration which is my own view is the worst ever, did it is very untrue... I honestly pity gullible Nigerians and Niger lites that still want Abu Lolo... Next stop bago will want governorship status... What a pity
