The Executive Committee of the FCT has set up a committee to look into all the issues surrounding the abandoned Utako District Hospital in Abuja.

The FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, who chaired the FCT Executive Committee meeting held at Gwarinpa I District on Monday, approved the establishment of the committee after a presentation on the activities and programmes of the Health and Human Services Secretariat.

Bello restated the commitment of his administration to ensuring that the hospital project was revived and completed to further improve health service delivery in the territory.

The minister noted that Abuja was growing geometrically in its population and therefore required diligent planning for the provision of healthcare facilities to cater for the fast-changing demographic growth.

He said he personally visited the hospital’s site to ascertain the encumbrances hindering the completion of the project.
