KADUNA, Nigeria — Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has named a newly completed multi-wing specialist hospital after President Bola Tinubu, in recognition of what he described as the president’s “leadership and commitment to national development.”
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital, officially unveiled on Thursday, June 19, 2025, during President Tinubu’s working visit to the state, comprises nine fully equipped wings, including departments for maternal and child health, radiology and imaging, intensive care, and special care units.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Governor Sani announced that the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority had granted approval for the establishment of a cancer treatment and nuclear medicine facility within the hospital complex.
He appealed to the president for federal intervention to support the completion of the cancer centre.
“That’s the only thing missing,” Sani said.
“We are seeking Mr. President’s intervention to help us complete this critical component.”
President Tinubu, in his remarks, commended the Kaduna State governor for his emphasis on people-centred development and praised the hospital project as a sign of visionary governance.
“We’ve witnessed progress. You prioritise people. It is only a far-sighted leader who cares about his people that can establish this for their health care needs. I am very proud of what you are doing,” Tinubu said.
The president also gave his assurance that the federal government would support the hospital’s expansion.
“I can assure you that our intervention is not in vain, and we will grant it,” he said.
