Segun Awofadeji in Bauchi

The North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has embarked on the construction of a surgical ward and skills acquisition centre at the National Obstetrics Fistula Centre in Ningi, Bauchi State.

Consequently, the Managing Director of NEDC paid an inspection visit to the centre yesterday to assess the level of work done.

He was however dismayed with delay in the completion of the project and summoned the contractor handling the construction of the structure for explorations.

He said that the need for the contractor to come to the NEDC headquarters for explanation became necessary because the commission needed to know what is causing delay in the completion of the projects.

Conducted round the projects by the Site Engineer and the Management of the Centre, Goni Alkali expressed the desire of the NEDC in seeing that the facilities were put to use as soon as possible.

He also stated that the commission was desirous to see that both the surgical ward and the skills acquisition centre were well equipped in order to facilitate treatment and rehabilitation of the patients.

The NEDC M commended management of the centre for providing care to the parents assuring that NEDC will always support the centre to meet the objectives of its establishment.

The projects are the rehabilitation of skills acquisitions centre as well as the construction and equipping of surgical ward at the centre.
