Uba Sani: I’ll build more PHCs, nurses’ quarters as Kaduna gov

The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Sen. Uba Sani, has promised to build and equip two more Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in all the 255 wards in the state, to bring healthcare services closer to the people.

Sani, who made the vow during an FRCN Kaduna Hausa phone-in programme on Saturday, said Governor Nasir El-Rufai has done his best by providing a PHC in each of the 255 wards in the state.

The APC governorship candidate, however, said he would complement El-Rufai’s efforts by providing two additional PHCs in each ward and equipping as well as staffing them with relevant medical personnel.

The federal lawmaker recalled that he had earlier intervened in the equipping seven PHCs in his senatorial district in Kaduna North and Kaduna South Local Government Areas, Kajuru and Chikun as well as Igabi and Giwa area councils.

“At Birnin Gwari Local Government Area, I have constructed and equipped a whole modern Obstetrics and Gynecology Centre,” he added.

Sani further stated that he did not only equipped those seven PHCs but also built staff quarters for medical personnel, adding that that is what he intends to at the two additional PHCs if elected as governor.

Speaking on his achievements, the senator said apart from sponsoring 32 bills at the Senate he has also provided hostels, built Information Communication and Technology (ICT) centres in schools, and skills acquisition centres across Kaduna State.

“I have built and equipped an ICT centre at Government Senior Secondary School, Kawo in Kaduna North local government, another one at Government Secondary School, Maimuna Gwarzo, at Kaduna South,” Sani stated.

He said he has also built and equipped another ICT centre at Turunku ward in Igabi Local Government Area.

“Last month, I laid the foundation of an ICT centre at Kudan local government area, to ease the hardship that students encounter when writing JAMB. They have been going to Zaria to write this examination for several years.

“Remember, this is the local government of the gubernatorial candidates of PDP and New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), people who held public service positions in the past,” the APC gubernatorial flag-bearer stated.
