Nigeria's first citizen, President Buhari, has approved the construction and equipping of a private 14-bed space Presidential Clinic at a whopping cost of ₦21 billion.
The Permanent Secretary State House, Mr Umar Tijani, disclosed this information to the Senate Committee on Federal Character members while presenting a ₦40 billion budget proposal for the statehouse.
He explained that the Presidential Clinic was conceived in 2012 by the previous administration and will be open to people from other African countries for medical treatment.
The clinic will have a laboratory, healing garden, pharmacy and x-ray facility, operating theatre, executive suite and isolation areas. Tijani further stated that most of the preliminary work has been concluded, and a Certificate of No Objection has been sought from the Bureau of Public Procurement.
