Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has cancelled the sale of the Hasiya Bayero Pediatric Hospital, which was sold by the administration of Abdulahi Ganduje.
According to Yusuf, the hospital in question has been treating women and children for 30 years, but it was sold to an individual for a small amount.
“Today, we paid an assessment visit to the Hasiya Bayero Pediatric Hospital, once a haven for medical care to children and women in our state for over 30 years, which was closed down by the previous administration,” said Yusuf in a tweet.
“I’ve revoked its sale to an individual for a paltry sum. And, we shall now work towards renovating and re-opening it for public use.”
Meanwhile Yusuf has ordered the demolition of illegal structures in Kano. He explained that the structures erected in schools, mosques, public playgrounds, graveyards, markets and hospitals would be demolished to ensure strict adherence to the urban planning, beautification and safety of people.
“These places are meant for public use; it is, therefore, disheartening to witness the incessant destruction and conversion of public places that are used to render social services by unpatriotic citizens.
“We shall bring an end to land grabbing and indiscriminate erection of illegal structures in the state,” he said.
