The Abdul Samad Rabiu (ASR) Africa Initiative of the BUA Group has laid the foundation for a 30-bed hospital at the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Federal Operations Unit Zone D Headquarters in Bauchi.
While speaking in Bauchi at the groundbreaking, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the ASR Africa, Dr. Ubon Udoh, explained that the intervention was in partnership with the Customs Service under its Security Sector Support Grant.
He said under the last administration, the body donated N10 billion to support security agencies in the country. Udoh clarified that out of the sum, N500 million was allocated to the NCS, while the Service decided to build the facility.
In his remarks, Comptroller General (GG) of the NCS, Adewale Adeniyi, lauded the ASR Initiative for considering his agency. He said the facility would serve both operatives and the host communities.
“Quality health care is one of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 agenda, and also a priority area of the President Tinubu’s administration. We are happy to associate with the project,” the CG declared.
