The Kogi State Government has committed N7 billion to upgrade 88 additional Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the state.

Gov. Ahmed Ododo made this announcement on Saturday in Lokoja during the official handing over of sites to contractors for the upgrade of the 88 PHCs.

Ododo was represented by the state’s Commissioner for Health, Dr Abdulazeez Adeiza.

The governor explained that these new PHCs would complement the ongoing upgrade of 70 existing PHCs into functional Level-two facilities.

He described the initiative as a significant step toward enhancing healthcare delivery and achieving universal health coverage for citizens.

Ododo said with the invaluable support of the World Bank, the Kogi State Government had committed more than N7 billion to this project, reflecting unwavering commitment to improving the lives of citizens.

“Today, we hand over these project sites to contractors who have successfully navigated a rigorous procurement process.”

He urged contractors to maintain high standards of professionalism and complete the projects within the stipulated four-month timeframe.

He also emphasised the importance of engaging local communities, collaborating with local leaders, and adhering to social and environmental safeguards.

Ododo thanked President Bola Tinubu for his leadership and support for healthcare at the grassroots level, noting that the president’s engagement had strengthened the commitment of international partners to Nigeria’s healthcare goals.

He also acknowledged the contributions of his predecessor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, for laying a strong foundation in the health sector.

The Executive Director of the Kogi State Primary Health Care Development Agency (KSPHCDA), Dr Musa Muazu commended the government’s efforts to upgrade PHC facilities, particularly in rural areas, and reiterated the state’s commitment to improving healthcare services.

Muazu, who was represented by the Case Manager for Immunisation at the IMPACT Project, Hadiya Ahmad said the scheme was a testament to the state government’s dedication to improving the well-being of its people.

Four contractors will handle the upgrade of the 88 PHCs across the state, including INKNUEL Ltd, Multipurpose Erand Ltd, QSA Nig Ltd, and Base-SAN Ventures.

Responding on behalf of the contractors, Retired Brig.-Gen. Stephen Bawa , Project Manager of INKNUEL Ltd, promised that the projects would be completed according to the standard specifications and within the set timeframe.

He also assured that local youth would be engaged in the execution of the projects.

The Chairman of the Ward Community Development, Oworo, Mr Francis Eleson and the Community Youth Leader, Mr Mahmud Obewa both expressed their appreciation to the governor for prioritising healthcare delivery at the grassroots level.

They pledged to provide adequate protection and create an enabling environment to ensure the contractors could successfully execute the projects for the benefit of the community.
