Buhari Commissions King David University of Medical Sciences, Other Projects In Ebonyi

President Muhammadu Buhari has commissioned several projects, executed by Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state in his hometown, Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

Some of the Commissioned projects include, King David University of Medical Sciences, the university’s Teaching Hospital, the twin flyover and dual carriage way, which pass through the university to Mpu in Enugu state, among others.

Governor Umahi during the commissioning, appealed to the federal government to take over the university’s teaching hospital because it was beyond the scope of any state to manage, adding that the president has approved the takeover and they have been celebrating since then.

The governor said that the hospital would solve the challenges of medical tourism, confronting the country because it has the best of facilities that can be found anywhere in the world.

“It has a heart surgery department, the best Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) facilities, among others,” he said.

He thanked the president for his assistance towards the realisation of the King David University of Medical Sciences, adding that the edifice was three years old.

According to him, “It was constructed through direct labour by our people and the 700 metres twin-flyover, which passes through the university, cost N2 billion.”

President Muhammadu Buhari in his remarks while commissioning the projects applauded the governor for ensuring the projects were of high quality.

“I thank you also for associating the federal government with the construction of the projects and though I am not an engineer, I can see with my eyes,” Buhari said.
