FG commends Kano over establishment of cancer centre

THE acting head of service of the federation, Mrs Folashade Yemi-Esan, has said the multi-billion projects of the world-class cancer centre, Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital, at Giginyu, is not common in most of the states of the federation.

Yemi-Esan said the centre is complex in nature and it is capital intensive.

She made the recommendations when she led a high power delegation including federal permanent secretaries, accountant-general and auditor-general of the federation to Kano for a 2020 procurement retreat, hosted by the state government.

During the visit, Dr Aminu Mohammad Bello Shamaki, said the decision to visit the cancer centre in Kano because of its significant importance to the lives of not only people in Kano but to Nigerians as a whole.
