Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has commissioned a hospital with about 40 beds at Zarewa in Rogo Local Government Area of the state. He also inaugurated a newly constructed nine-kilometre Fulatan-Zarewa-Dan Guzuri road in Rogo Local Government Area.
Through his spokesperson Sunusi Tofa, he announced that the new road project is designed to improve market access, farm produce transportation, and promote rural development. The project, part of the Kano Agropastoral Development Project (KSADP), aims to boost economic activities, assist local farmers, and improve market linkages, to contribute to poverty reduction and food security in the state.
The hospital, which was facilitated by Sen. Kawu Sumaila as part of his 2024 constituency projects, was constructed under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiative.
Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, the lawmaker’s spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement issued in Kano, on Thursday.
Gov. Yusuf said the hospital, fully equipped to offer laboratory services, routine immunisation, and antenatal care programmes, was designed to provide primary healthcare services to at least 20,000 patients.
He explained that the facility would significantly improve access to quality healthcare for residents of Zarewa and surrounding communities.
The governor commended Sen. Sumaila for championing the project and directed the Kano State Hospitals Management Board to deploy qualified healthcare workers to ensure effective and efficient delivery of medical services.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to prioritising the health sector and investing in healthcare infrastructure to enhance the well-being of the state’s growing population.
