Buhari Inaugurates N21bn Presidential Medical Centre Friday by adenigga(m): 6:10am On May 18, 2023
Barely three days after returning from a medical trip to London, the United Kingdom, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will, on Friday, inaugurate the Presidential/VIP Wing of the State House Medical Centre, Abuja.

“Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, President Buhari, accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of the State House, Tijjani Umar, will embark on a guided tour of the hospital,” a statement signed by the State House Director of Information, Abiodun Oladunjoye, read on Wednesday.

According to the statement, titled ‘President Buhari to inaugurate Presidential/VIP Wing Of State House Medical Centre on Friday,’ guests invited to the inauguration ceremony are expected to be seated by 9am.

The PUNCH reported that the legacy project, situated on the premises of the Presidential Villa, had its ground-breaking ceremony conducted by the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, on November 1, 2021.

The hospital, built on 2,485 square metres, is a specialised Intensive Care Centre to cater for the President, Vice President, their immediate families and other VIPs.

“The presidential/VIP Wing houses several specialised departments, to be staffed by a team of medical professionals, featuring five consultation rooms dedicated to various specialties, including respiratory, cardiology, ophthalmology, ENT, and general consultation.

“Additionally, the hospital has a specialised X-ray suite equipped with a digital X-ray machine as well as a diagnostic suite encompassing MRI, CT scan, and endoscopy facilities.

“Patients and visitors can enjoy access to a Healing Garden, designed to foster healing, relaxation, and enhancement of overall well-being,” the State House said.

Built for N21bn, the VIP Wing also showcases a Catheterisation Laboratory, two operating rooms for regular procedures, and special procedures such as organ transplants.

Reacting to the development, the State House Permanent Secretary, Umar, said, “We are excited that Mr President has kindly consented to inaugurate this legacy and transformative project on the cusp of the completion of his two-term tenure as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

He added that “Since the inception of this project in 2021, the State House Management has successfully completed several projects, including a Special Care Centre, Biosafety Level 2 Molecular Laboratory, certified by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, a medium capacity incinerator and the Dental Wing Extension Building at the State House Medical Centre, Asokoro, a block of two-bedroom flats at the Staff Quarters of the Medical Centre, as well as a 54-seater State House Multi-Purpose Training Centre at the Auditorium.

‘‘The Conference Car Unit workshop and the Modern Fleet Management hub will be inaugurated next week.”

On May 13, Saturday PUNCH reported that the dispensary located at the administrative section of the State House had been relocated to the VIP wing of the State House Medical Centre.

Our correspondent observed the evacuation of hospital beds, surgical suction machine, oxygen cylinders, mini theatre light stands, pedal bins, dressing bowls, file cabinets and blood collection tubes, among others.

A medical member of staff, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that the old equipment would be relocated to the old State House Medical Centre in Asokoro as they would not be needed at the VIP section.

The officer said, “We are moving them to the old State House Medical Centre outside.”

According to the State House Management, the Presidential/VIP Wing will coexist with the State House Medical Centre, located in Asokoro, Abuja.

“The medical facility remains committed to providing accessible, well-equipped, and rejuvenated health care services, catering to the diverse needs of patients through a range of comprehensive medical treatments,” the statement added.

This man is not a good man, after wasting six years galavanting around the world for medical treatment, 2O21 he now thought it would be wise to build a hospital in the state, so we now blame the next president for using the facility.

The President-Maj.General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) Said “Nigerians have suffered so much going abroad for medical treatment.This is not good for us & it must stop because we can’t afford it again" The President, who himself had travelled to the United Kingdom for treatment on several occasions."

Buhari never used the facility provided right from inception despite his sanctimonious promises of not going to seek healthcare in foreign countries. Alas! It was a scam.
