While recalling that the Umueri General Hospital is the oldest hospital in that area, the Governor said that Access Bank will soon open a branch of the bank in Umueri.

He called on Ndi Anambra to adhere to the COVID-19 protocols against the spread of the virus, while his administration will continue to do everything within its powers to contain the situation.

The Tradional Ruler of Umueri, Igwe Ben Emeka pledged their support to the present government while appreciating the Governor for attracting such facility to Umueri, including the International Cargo Airport which is undergoing construction.

The Commissioner for Health, Dr Vincent Okpala had conducted a tour of the Immaculate Heart Multi-Specialty Hospital, including the ten - bed Protective Care Center sited within the hospital premises.
