He stated that the administration of Governor Bello Matawalle would not in any way allow public property to be mismanaged or under utilised, but would always find the most suitable alternative for people to benefit from such investments.
Nasiha said taking into consideration the increase in population in the state capital and its environs, the newly-approved General Hospital was expected to complement the existing facilities in Gusau, to cater for the health needs of people from Mada, Ruwan Bore, Wonaka, Damba, and other villages in the state.
While at Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, the deputy governor inspected the Medical, Surgical, Orthopaedic, Theatre, and Emergency Wards.
The inspection was led by Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Aliyu Maikiyo.
Nasiha expressed satisfaction with the level of development, higher than what he witnessed during his last visit.
He, however, urged the Medical Director to, as a matter of urgency, put the Orthopaedic Department into full operation, to relieve people travelling to far places like Kano and Kaduna for medical service.
