🩺🏥 Governor Aliyu Inspects Renovated Gada General Hospital As Completion Reaches 94 Percent

GADA, Nigeria, June 29, 2026 - The Sokoto State Government has neared the full execution of its secondary healthcare modernization agenda following a technical inspection of the Gada General Hospital by Governor Ahmed Aliyu. Accompanied by Health Commissioner Dr. Faruk Umar Wurno, the governor audited structural updates at the medical institution, which was established in 1992 and left without capital improvements since 2019.

The comprehensive renovation contract, valued at 313.3 million naira, has successfully reached ninety-four percent completion, with the contracting firm already receiving eighty-four percent of the total project sum. The upgrade unbundles completely remodeled maternity labor blocks, the installation of solar-powered boreholes, fourteen modernized staff residential quarters, and clean facility access roads.

The facility retains a solid workforce strength of 110 medical professionals-including physicians, mid-level nurses, and laboratory scientists-who have already reported improved patient outcomes following the structural improvements. The Ministry of Health has integrated the center's solar-powered street lighting arrays into the local safety grid, securing nighttime emergency admissions safely.

🚜🌾 Governor Aliyu Demands Accelerated Timelines For Multi Billion Naira Gada Infrastructure

GADA, Nigeria, June 29, 2026 - The Sokoto State Government has intensified its subnational agrarian development and rural access frameworks following an extensive on-the-spot project evaluation tour conducted by Governor Ahmed Aliyu across Gada Local Government Area. The executive inspection monitored the construction of two major transit linkages and the central Gada Market complex, enforcing strict milestones to guarantee immediate public utilization.

The first infrastructure asset comprises the 9.5-kilometer Gada-Bakin Kasuwa-Tsitse-Tabanni road awarded at 2.8 billion naira, which has reached seventy-five percent completion. The second, a 21.8-kilometer Kaffe-Tsitse-Gidan Hashimu transport corridor valued at 5.1 billion naira, stands at sixty-five percent completion, with completed culvert structures already dropping agricultural transit costs from ten thousand naira down to one thousand naira per haul.

Rural Roads Special Adviser Malami Muhammad Galadanci confirmed that the state government maintains zero financial debt across the projects. The corresponding 2.4 billion naira Gada Market installation-incorporating specialized onion, garlic, and grain commodity sections alongside a modern abattoir-is currently forty-eight percent complete and will feature independent water reticulation and solar arrays.
