He stated: “The initiative is meant to strengthen the country’s national healthcare delivery facilities in combating the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic.

“Katsina State is among the 12 states selected for this humanitarian project for the fight against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases for generation yet unborn. “We are doing this kind of project in 12 states in the six geopolitical zones of the country and these projects were practically funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the NNPC”.

Kyari further noted that in addition to the project, NNPC had donated one Toyota ambulance, 10,000 pieces of face masks and full set of ventilator kits to the Katsina State Government to support its ongoing war against COVID-19. Earlier, Katsina State deputy governor, Alhaji Mannir Yakubu, said the construction of the infectious disease hospital would complement the effort of the state government in providing quality healthcare services to the people.

Very sad to say the least. If you observe carefully you will see that these northerners are no longer hiding their greed.

These guys are desperately cornering everything to the north at a rate never seen before. They know that Nigeria is going to break sooner or later so they are hurriedly moving all resources to their region yet others are keeping quiet like fools.

Should the NNPC even be building such an expensive project when all it's refineries are down?

It's federal government project. GEJ couldn't start a project in is state, but Bubu is starting from his doorstep.
Charity begins at home.

Never a fan of Bubu, but he sure knows how to flex muscle.
