The Jigawa government has approved N173 million to provide a solar mini-grid at Dutse General Hospital.
This was announced in a statement by information commissioner Sagir Musa on Friday.
Mr Musa said that the State Executive Council (SEC) approved the funds during its meeting on Thursday.
“The SEC has approved the award of contract for the installation of a solar mini-grid at the Dutse General Hospital at the sum of N172,754,158 only. The council decision is in line with Governor Umar Namadi’s administration’s commitment to improving the standard of General Hospitals in the state for effective healthcare delivery,” Mr Musa said.
The commissioner explained that the council approved N324.8 million to construct, rehabilitate, and upgrade 33 small towns’ water supply schemes in 14 constituencies.
He added that the council had also approved a contract to establish a fumigation chamber at the Maigatari Export Processing Zone (EPZ) in Maigatari LGA.
Mr Musa said the planned fumigation chamber aimed to boost hibiscus production.
The commissioner added the planned establishment of the chamber was also to improve the quality of hibiscus produced in the state and meet the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) requirements for exportation.
