Governor Ganduje said the state government had earlier on engaged a Lead Project Manager and Healthcare development consultant, Messrs Technimed Technologies, Ltd., to directly supervise and run all the affairs pertaining to the construction works as well as supply and installation of equipment.
He explained that for efficient functionality of the project to be guaranteed, each of the stakeholders, including government ministries, the contractor and the consultant must play their respective roles, according to the project specification and contractual agreement.
The governor noted that although the project is progressing smoothly, there was the need to make slight structural adjustments to enable the structure to provide more office space for more medical personnel.
He therefore directed the state’s ministries of works and health, the project contractor and the consultant to come up with three distinct proposals on how the modification can be made.
“All the proposals must clearly indicate the cost involved, the pros and cons of each proposal and the time frame for completion of the additional civil engineering works. This would enable the government to make an informed decision”, he stressed.
Dr. Ganduje however, expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done so far and the pace at which it is being executed, hoping the trend would be maintained.
