He added that the state government will also reconstruct the doctors quarters at the tertiary health facility as well as complete the orthopaedic section of the hospital.
“In the next two weeks, we will start awarding contracts for the rehabilitation of general hospitals. The rehabilitation will be done in phases. We will start with two per senatorial district “, Wike said.
Commenting on the ongoing biometric exercise, Wike said that all those involved in defrauding the state of funds will be prosecuted accordingly.
