Lagos State<\/a> Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, said on Tuesday the state government would build more general hospitals in order to boost healthcare delivery in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamzat made this known while featuring in an online show tagged: \u201cCovinspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme which was put together to mark the first 365 days of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu\u2019s administration in the state was moderated by a United Nations Special Representative, Dayo Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamzat said: \u201cWe have gotten experts and they have done the design and Mercy Hospital has been mapped out as we are building another Mercy Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlso, we are building a general hospital in Ojo because we discovered there is none around that axis and we are also expanding the general hospital in Gbagada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are building a spinal cord hospital in the Gbagada General Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deputy governor added that the state government was also building an Infectious Disease Hospital at Yaba \u2013 a permanent isolation centre and Institute of Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamzat also said at the forum that the state government is trying to ensure that residents of the state are adequately metered for power consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the government is procuring meter in order to stop the challenges of estimated billings and to allow the power distribution companies to take more electricity<\/a> from the power generation companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are discussing with the two Discos, the Eko and Ikeja Discos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople are not ready to pay if you send them estimated bill but by helping with the procurement of metres, it will go a long way to light up Lagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deputy governor<\/a> added: \u201cWe want to work with the Discos on procurement of metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe capacity to get 2000 megawatts is there but the challenge is funding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
