Ex-NCPC Boss Calls On FG To Build Hospitals In 774 LGs

Immediate past Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commis­sion (NCPC), Rev. Dr. Tor Uja, has called on the Fed­eral Government to build at least one federal medical centre in every Local gov­ernment area across Nige­ria to support the already “weak medical infrastruc­ture” in the country.

He made this statement in Abuja on Wednesday during his interaction with select newsmen and commended the Presiden­tial Task Force (PTF) on Covid-19 Pandemic and some few state governors on the “successful han­dling of the health crisis describing it as the “best in the world.”

According to him, “Our medical infrastructure is weak and Covid-19 pan­demic has provided an opportunity for invest­ment in the health sector. Covid-19 is an opportunity to improve on our infra­structure, provide social cohesion, partner with the nation’s strategic stakeholders and build a framework for smooth national operations in all spheres.
