The Niger State Government has embarked on the construction of 100 units of Level-2 Primary Healthcare Centres across the 25 Local Government Areas of the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Digital Media and Strategy, Abdullberqy Ebbo, disclosed this in a statement issued in Minna and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday.

Mr Ebbo stated that the project was part of the efforts by the current administration toward the realisation of the “New Niger’ Agenda”.

He added that two of the facilities could not start due to some technical issues.

“The centres will be equipped with modern facilities, such as beds, maternity equipment, computers, and solar power system, among others.

“This is also to ensure effective and efficient service delivery to the people of the state,” Ebbo stated.
