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.
