At the Emirs’ Place, Governor Lawal reiterated his administration’s commitment to capital projects across local government areas.
He said: “We are in Shinkafi today to inspect numerous key projects of my administration and to launch the empowerment program of Honorable Bello Hasan, member representing Shinkafi/Zurmi constituency.
“We have fully renovated and equipped the General Hospital in Shinkafi. The abandoned hospital now features state-of-the-art equipment capable of addressing the emergency needs of the people.
“The referral Hospital will be a game changer not only in Shinkafi LGA but also for the Zamfara North Senatorial Zone. It will ease a significant burden for people battling illnesses who are seeking serious medical attention.
“The state government acquired the former Bafarawa Institute and will house the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Zamfara State University. The school is undergoing serious work to complete it for effective utilization.”
Governor Lawal commended Bello Hassan for the empowerment and urged other stakeholders to prioritise human development.
