“Our MRI machines, CT Scan and others are fully functional”.
He assured the World Bank Team of his willingness to sustain the project to ensure its aims are not defeated.
“We are not only going to complement your efforts, we are going to exceed your expectations” The Governor assured
“We have seen the benefit, we have seen the need for the project and we will sustain it”.
