Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has expressed satisfaction with the progress of work on the multi-storey Oluremi Tinubu Hospital in Ilorin, saying the project is nearing completion.

The governor stated this on Monday during an inspection visit to the facility, where he assessed the quality of work and the level of progress made by the contractors.

AbdulRazaq disclosed that major medical imaging equipment, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scanners, mammography machines and X-ray equipment, had been delivered to the hospital ahead of installation.

“We are counting down to completion. We’re hoping to commission this facility as soon as possible. That’s why we have come to look at the work being done and to make sure we put pressure on the consultants and contractors to be on time,” he told reporters during the visit.

The governor, who was accompanied by his Special Adviser on Special Duties and Director-General of the APC Campaign Council (Central), Alhaji Abdulrazaq Jiddah, was conducted round the facility by the Project Manager of Craneburg Construction Company, Mohammad Yamout.

He said the state government was committed to providing quality healthcare services by equipping the hospital with modern facilities and attracting highly qualified medical professionals.

“We want to go for the best and maintain the best. The important thing, also, is to be able to attract the best consultants and continue to improve the welfare of doctors and all medical workers,” he added.

AbdulRazaq expressed confidence that the hospital would rank among the best public healthcare facilities in Nigeria, saying he expected it to surpass the services offered by the proposed Massey Children’s Hospital in Lagos.
