The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has budgeted N500 million for the establishment of a new federal medical centre in Daura, Katsina State, Mr Buhari’s hometown.
This is contained in the N20.5 trillion 2023 budget proposal presented to the National Assembly by the President earlier in October.
When completed, the hospital will rank Katsina as the only state in Nigeria with two Federal Medical Centres.
