NNPC to build 14 new hospitals in Nigeria

 

The Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), is giving back to the nation’s health sector, by proposing to build 14 new medical facilities around the country. The Group’s Managing Director, Mele Kyari, is set to take up this project.

This information was disclosed in Abuja, during the hand over of 20 ventilators donated by Ocea S.A, through Mystrose Defence Systems Limited, to the Federal Government.

During this event, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, hailed the NNPC for its unwavering support and several medical interventions during this pandemic.

“This is a hallmark of a national institution which, at this very challenging time of COVID-19, is filling the gap in the provision of the kind of things that the nation requires; the facilities that we need to put in place,” Mustapha stated.
