Buhari Allocate N500m To Build New FMC In Katsina State

The Federal Government has allocated N500 million to build a new Federal Medical Centre, FMC,  in President Muhammadu Buhari’s hometown of Daura, Katsina State.

The project is included in the President’s N20.5 trillion 2023 budget proposal, which he presented to the National Assembly earlier this month.

When completed, Katsina will be the only state in Nigeria with two Federal Medical Centres. According to Premium Times, Aminu Masari, the state governor, has expressed support for the establishment of the new federal medical centre.

The state government has agreed to upgrade an existing general hospital in the president’s hometown to the new FMC, and has also announced a donation of 50 hectares of land for the project.

The state government has also directed its Ministry of Lands and Surveys to begin the process of demarcating the land and issuing a Certificate of Occupancy to the Federal Ministry of Health.
