The Nigerian Federal Government has moved to build Aviation Medical Centers in all the airports in the country.
This hint was dropped today, November 9, by the minister of information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, while briefing newsmen shortly after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential villa, Abuja.
He said that procurement of medical equipment and furniture are being scheduled to be made for the ongoing construction of one of the prototype Aviation Medical Centers at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja.
“In other words, we are building Aviation Medical Centers in all the airports and this is the first prototype at Abuja and the contract was approved for the supply of medical equipment and furniture, to the tune of N1,000,684,789.32.”
Lai Mohammed said that Tasodic Sodica Limited, the company that is to carry out the supply, was given six months from now to complete the job.
