The Federal Capital Territory Administration has approved the immediate renovation, rehabilitation and upgrading of 14 general hospitals across the territory, alongside the resumption of work on the long-abandoned Utako General Hospital.

The decisions were taken at the 19th meeting of the FCT Executive Council presided over by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The administration said the hospital interventions would include new medical equipment, diagnostic facilities and theatre upgrades as part of efforts to improve healthcare delivery across the FCT.

The Utako General Hospital project is expected to involve the construction, equipping and staffing of the facility.

The hospital has remained unfinished for years, making its revival one of the major health-sector decisions announced after the council meeting.

Mandate Secretary of the FCT Health Secretariat, Adedolapo Fasawe, said the upgrade programme would cover the territory’s general hospitals and include the procurement of equipment such as X-ray machines and other diagnostic materials.

She added that hospital theatres would also be upgraded under the intervention.

The administration said the measures are intended to improve access to healthcare services for residents and strengthen the capacity of public hospitals to provide medical care.

The council meeting considered 20 memoranda covering different sectors of the FCT, including healthcare, education, justice, land administration, power, security and infrastructure.

Beyond the health sector, the council approved a N5.703 billion contract for the construction of a 33KVA power supply line from Dawaki to Tukulo and surrounding communities in Bwari Area Council.

The project, awarded to CGC Nigeria Limited, has an eight-month completion timeline.

The council also approved the construction of a new divisional police station at Wasa Informal Sector, ahead of the planned relocation of mechanics and artisans to the area.

The security project is expected to support policing in the developing area as economic activities increase.

The administration said it plans to establish divisional police stations across the six area councils of the FCT.

In the judicial sector, the council approved the digitalisation of the FCT High Court, covering about 67 courtrooms.

The project is expected to introduce electronic court recording and case-management systems while reducing reliance on handwritten records and physical case files.

Education also featured in the council’s decisions, with approvals granted for examination materials for pupils and students in FCT public schools.

The wide-ranging approvals demonstrate that the latest FCT Executive Council meeting extended beyond healthcare to several areas of public infrastructure and service delivery.

For residents, the planned hospital upgrades and the revival of the Utako facility are particularly significant as the territory continues to experience population growth and rising demand for public healthcare services.
