NGO, Eagle Brain commends Kaduna govt over hospital handover, road projects

The Eagle Brain Human Rights Organization (EBHRO) has praised the Kaduna State Government for its decision to transfer the Sir Patrick Yakowa General Hospital in Kafanchan to the Federal Government for its transformation into a Federal Medical Centre (FMC).

This approval, granted by the State Executive Council, aims to improve access to tertiary healthcare services in Southern Kaduna by attracting federal funding, specialist services, modern medical equipment, and increased capacity.

In a statement released on Tuesday, EBHRO’s Executive Director, Comrade Daniel Ejembi, hailed this action as a “historic and selfless step” that prioritizes the health and well-being of local residents.

Ejembi noted that this decision showcases Governor Uba Sani’s attention to long-standing requests from communities in Southern Kaduna for better healthcare infrastructure.

Additionally, EBHRO commended the government for advancements in road infrastructure, especially the completion of previously stalled projects and the initiation of new road works in Kaduna North, Kaduna South, and Chikun Local Government Areas.

The organization specifically credited the Kaduna Road Development Agency (KADRA) and its Managing Director, Dr. Abdullahi Baba Ahmed, for promoting road construction and rehabilitation throughout the state.

Ejembi emphasized that once these infrastructure projects are completed, they will enhance mobility, reduce travel time and transportation costs, and improve access to schools, markets, and healthcare facilities in the affected areas.

He also reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to supporting and overseeing initiatives that benefit public welfare, safeguard citizens’ rights, and foster sustainable development in Kaduna State.

Furthermore, EBHRO encouraged other state governments to follow Kaduna’s example by prioritizing healthcare improvements through federal partnerships and ensuring that critical infrastructure projects are completed on time.
