Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has directed the rehabilitation of Biu Specialist Hospital just as he approved the recruitment of five medical doctors and 20 nurses for the hospital in the state.
Zulum gave the directive during a late-night visit to the hospital on Monday, August 28, 2023.
The governor, who always pays unscheduled late-night visits to hospitals in order to assess functionality and approve interventions where necessary, stated that the rehabilitation of Biu Specialist Hospital will involve a comprehensive overhaul of the hospital’s infrastructure, including the renovation of existing wards, installation of modern medical equipment, and the enhancement of sanitation and hygiene facilities to meet specialist status.

“Insha’Allah I will send a team to come and examine the hospital before I leave this town. We will do the reconstruction in phases so that the provision of healthcare services will continue while the reconstruction work is ongoing,” he said.
Before arriving in Biu on Monday, Governor Zulum was in Damboa, the headquarters of Damboa Local Government on Sunday, where he supervised the distribution of food palliatives to over 18,000 households.
Each of the 18,000 households received one bag of rice and one bag of maize grain.
