“A WORLD CLASS TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR SOKOTO STATE”

When Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, CFR assumed office as Governor of Sokoto State in 2015, he identified the revitalization of the health sector as one of his key priorities. He wasted no time in embarking on aggressive construction/rehabilitation of Primary Health Care Centers and Hospitals. He equipped the centers and hospitals and trained its personnel.

The Government also entered into a cooperative agreement with the Federal Ministry of Health for deployment of some Medical Doctors with Usman Dan University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH) to Sokoto State Government owned Hospitals and Primary Health Care Centers. They have not only brought high quality health care closer to the people, but have been carrying out the training and retraining of health personnel in Sokoto State.

The Governor Tambuwal Administration is now poised to take health care delivery in the state a notch higher. It has awarded the contract for construction of the world class Sokoto State University Teaching Hospital. On November 5, 2020, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike laid the foundation stone of the Sokoto State University Teaching Hospital (SOSUTH), to the delight of Governor Tambuwal, top government officials and an enthusiastic crowd.

The Sokoto State University Teaching Hospital, when completed, will undertake the training of professionals in the medical field, providing high level healthcare services to the state's populace and neighbouring States.

The hospital will have structures that meet the standard of its status as a modern medical facility that can compete with its counterparts anywhere in the medical world.

In total, the combined capacity of the hospital, comprising of clinics, units, laboratories, theatres and wards etc is 258 offices, 950 beds and 17 clinics.

The period for the completion of this project is 30 months. The constractor is Calder Construction Company under supervision of the Consultant (Dotline Arch Consult Ltd) and monitoring/supervision by the State Ministry of Works.

PRESS RELEASE

Tambuwal: Sokoto Is A Mini Nigeria

Sokoto state governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has described the state as a microcosm of Nigeria's traditions and cultures.

Gov. Tambuwal made this observation Tuesday evening when he hosted officials of the National Defence College (NDC), Abuja and participants in Course 29 of the institution to a state dinner in the Presidential Lodge of Government House, Sokoto.

According to him, while taking cue from the cultural display that featured to entertain the guests, the cultures and traditions of Nigeria are intertwined as they help in sending messages to different parts of the country.

He said in its efforts to sustain this unity in diversity "the state government doesn't discriminate between indigenes and other Nigerians resident in the state.

"Everyone in Sokoto enjoy healthcare, education and relief packages provided by the state's Zakkat and Waqf Commission (SOZECOM) free of charge," he added.

He further added that "this is a state where we don't discriminate. That is why we are peaceful."

Although the cultural affiliations existing in the state are superlative, the governor, however, noted that there is a drawback in some areas, thus necessitating the establishment of a Ministry of Culture and Tourism by his administration "to revitalize the country's cultural heritage" as they exist in the state.

Gov. Tambuwal who offered free parcels of land to any of the participants willing to live in the state after retirement, expressed appreciation to the NDC for accepting his proposal of partnership between the state government and itself on the latter's undertaking a study on banditry and kidnapping on behalf of the state government.

In his remarks, the NDC's Director of National and Military Strategy (DNMS) and leader of the college's Team Four currently on a study to Sokoto state, Air Commodore Dauda Garba Prayero, appreciated the well packaged reception and lectures organized by the state government for the participants.

He said this is a prove that the choice of the state as a destination for a crop of its participants by the NDC "is not misplaced."

He also noted that the current nomination of Gov. Tambuwal as a 'digital governor' by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and his visible efforts in developing science and technology through heavy investments in education has shown that he is a technophile.

Highlights of the occasion included cultural dance and presentation of souvenirs to the staff of the NDC and the course participants.
