South-Ibie, Edo – The people of South-Ibie in Etsako West local government area of Edo state, has called on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to resuscitate the NDDC hospital project in the area.
Iyamah Nurudeen, who made the call on behalf of the community on his Facebook page Wednesday appealed to the Minister of Niger Delta Development, Abubakar Momoh to approve the activation of the hospital project.
Nurudeen noted that the facility which was constructed in 2000 to provide healthcare services for the people has since been abandoned by the commission.
According to him, when fixed, the people of South-Ibie and it environs will not travel long distance to seek quality and affordable healthcare, adding the hospital will also provide job opportunities for the locals.
"I, Iyamah Nurudeen, on behalf of the good people of South-Ibie, do hereby make a passionate appeal to the Minister of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Hon. Abubakar Momoh, to kindly consider for approval, the revamping of the dilapidated NDDC hospital project located in South Ibie, Ward 5, Etsako West Local Government Area.
"As the commission charged with the responsibility of facilitating the sustainable development of the Niger Delta region through the execution of projects and programs that will improve the lives of the people, the NDDC hospital project in South-Ibie is one of several projects urgently needing attention.
"There is no gainsaying that the revamping of the NDDC hospital project is critical to the health and well-being of the people of South Ibie and its environs. The hospital, which was initiated by the NDDC in the early 2000, has been abandoned for several years, and it is in a state of disrepair.
"The revamping of the hospital will provide access to quality healthcare for the people of South Ibie and its environs, who currently have to travel long distances to access healthcare services. It will also create employment opportunities for the people of the local government area and contribute to the overall development of the area.
"As a minister with a purposeful vision and leadership, I believe in the ability of the NDDC under your leadership to drive infrastructural development across the region.", Nurudeen posted
