Federal Government Commissions Multipurpose Hospital in Abia
The Federal Government has recently commissioned a multi-purpose hospital in Obeaja, Ugwunagbo LGA of Abia State as part of its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The hospital, with 100 beds, was initiated during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari and has been successfully completed under the present administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the completion of the hospital and its transformation into a multi-purpose facility to cater to the diverse health needs of the community.
Governor Otti also assured the public that his administration would take over the management of the hospital, ensuring 24-hour security, providing additional lands for the construction of doctors’ quarters, and establishing a facility management team to ensure high standards of care.
Furthermore, Governor Otti highlighted the significant reduction in maternal mortality rates in Abia State and pledged further efforts to continue this positive trend.
He also emphasized his administration’s commitment to reducing medical tourism expenditures by establishing a medical village.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Abia State Hospital Management Board, Dr. Odochi Azubuike, underscored that the hospital is fully equipped to meet the healthcare needs of mothers and children in the state.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
