The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has described the Federal Government’s Oncology Centre in Enugu as a world class. He said that it is a proof of the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to deliver life-changing health infrastructure to Nigerians.
The Minister, who led a high-powered delegation to inspect the newly established Oncology Centre in Enugu, said that President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is making world-class healthcare a reality across the country.
He said that with six such centres planned nationwide three are already operational.
“This is democracy delivering tangible dividends. Our visit allows us to hear directly from citizens, see the impact for ourselves, and ensure these facilities are maintained for public benefit.”
During the visit, the minister and the delegation met patients receiving treatment, including a woman who had previously travelled long distances for care but can now access top-quality treatment in Enugu.
The tour also included inspections of federal road projects.
Commissioned only weeks ago by the Ministers of Health and Finance, the facility houses one of the most advanced cancer treatment machines in the world — previously only accessible abroad or in Lagos.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah has lauded the recently launched Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme of the Federal Government, an initiative designed to advance inclusive development across the 8,809 wards of the country.
Governor Mbah, spoke while welcoming Federal Government delegation on a Citizens’ Engagement tour of the South East, led by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.
The Renewed Hope Ward Development, according to the Governor, is a laudable initiative that aligns closely with the grassroot-oriented agenda of the government of Enugu state.
Endorsed recently by the National Economic Council, the program is one of the fresh initiatives of the President Bola Tinubu administration in its pursuit of eradicating poverty and hunger, and stimulating economic growth in the rural areas.
