The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) approves the resumption of work on the long-abandoned Utako General Hospital in Utako, Abuja. It also approves renovation and upgrading of other general hospitals across the territory, including re-equipping and rehabilitation works.
Across reports, the approvals are framed as resolutions from the FCT Executive Council (Exco) and are linked to planned improvements in healthcare infrastructure. The Punch and Daily Post Nigeria focus on the Utako General Hospital and the broader upgrade of 14 existing general hospitals, describing the inclusion of rehabilitation and medical equipment and facilities. Vanguard similarly reports approval for completing Utako General Hospital and upgrading 14 general hospitals, but also adds that the administration approves the construction of a new divisional police station at Wasa Informal Sector, expanding the scope beyond health projects.
All outlets present the decisions as official actions taken by the FCTA on Tuesday at the 19th meeting, with work expected to restart on the abandoned hospital and continue on the other facility upgrades.
