Katsina State Ministry for Local Government and Emirate Affairs has appreciated the quality work executed by some local government councils on the remodeling project of Clinics in their respective areas.
Supervising Commissioner of the Ministry Alhaji Bishir Tanimu Gambo made this known on Tuesday in Tsagem Village shortly after he paid an unscheduled inspection visit to some LGAs.
The PHCs visited include Barawa, Jino, Shinkafi, ‘Yandaki, Kaita, Dankama, Majigiri, Doguru, Tamilo, and Tsagem in Batagarawa, Katsina, Kaita, Mashi and Mani LGAs respectively.
The Commissioner expressed appreciation particularly on the nature of the construction of staff quarters which have already been completed in most of the Clinics so far visited.
He similarly expressed concern on the lousy work of the Contractor handling the construction of Staff Quarters at Shinkafi PHC which was just block work reaching only 30%.
The Commissioner however directed the Director Works of the Ministry to invite the Contrator to enquire from him the reason for slowing the construction work.
Hon Bishir Tanimu Gambo talked on the distribution of hospital materials to the Clinics, as he witnessed the supply of the materials to Tsagem PHC, urging for the speedy delivery to other PHCs already inspected for the purpose of giving primary healthcare to the people.
The Commissioner was impressed and commended Mashi LGA for ensuring good renovation of the three Clinics and the Contractor handling the construction of Staff Quarters for a job well done.
The Commissioner therefore applauded Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda for his untiring efforts in initiating such project as healthcare delivery is one important aspect for any government that needs to deliver good governance to its people at the grass root level.
Other members of the inspection Team include the permanent Secretary Alhaji Masa’ud Banye, Director Finance & Account Alhaji Rabi’u Gide and Director Admin and Supply Alhaji Bello Isah Fago.
Others are Director Works Engineer Umar Faruk, Director Inspection Alhaji Wali and Assistant Director water and Sanitation Alhaji Murtala Yauyau.
