The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has commissioned the Nibo Community Hospital Ltd, praising the town’s citizens residing in the United States for their collaborative effort in funding and constructing the facility.
He lauded the project as a prime example of “ndi Anambra” coming together to drive development, adding that “Nibo is a big town that does big things, and this hospital is a testament to that spirit.”
Soludo reiterated his government’s commitment to the Public-Private-Community Partnership (PPCP) model, asserting that “the government, the private sector, and the communities must work together.”
He highlighted the hospital project as a successful implementation of this strategy, and called for similar collaborations across the state to accelerate development.
