The Federal Commissioner representing Abia State at the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission Abuja, Comrade Chris Akomas says, he will ensure the completion of the project sited in his Nenu in Obingwa country home.
The Nenu General Hospital was commissioned uncompleted by the immediate past governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu to start work officially.
Comrade Chris Akomas however, gave his words that he will not stop until the hospital is completed and gets all the needed equipment that will make it stand out as a general Hospital.
The former Deputy Governor in the state who thanked God for His great benevolence on his people of Nenu, said “there is still work to be done in the hospital complex which hitherto was designated a cottage hospital”.
Speaking shortly after the hospital project was officially commissioned by the outgone Gov. Ikpeazu, Comrade Akomas disclosed that equipping the hospital with Ultra modern medical equipments will be completed before long, and called on the people of the community, especially the youths to safeguard all the equipment that are being installed in the hospital, including dialysis machines among others.
He cautioned the people of Nenu community to protect the infrastructure in place at the General Hospital as a way of appreciating the state government gesture.
The dream of a General Hospital was conceived more than a decade ago while Akomas was still serving as the state deputy Governor and Akomas recalled all the efforts by his kinsmen in seeing to the completion of the project, even as he expressed gratitude for their doggedness in seeing that the project was achieved and how the first 18 beds were procured and brought into the hospital.
He reminded the people of Nenu of the roles played by their sons, including Erondu Junior, the then chairman of the council area, Kelechi Nwankpa, Raymond Nkpuruoma Aliga, and Chief Okezie Anyamele, among others in achieving the health facility, including building a staff quarters for the health personnel, and sinking of borehole.
Akomas who is also an APC Board of Trustees member had also assured that the perimeter fencing of the edifice will be concluded before long, and commended the outgone governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu for keeping to his promise of coming to commission the all important project as part of his last assignments as Executive Governor of the State and for naming the health facility as one of the General Hospitals in the State.
