The Benue State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Paul Ogwuche, has expressed frustration over delays in the renovation of six Primary Health Care (PHC) centres, directing contractors to accelerate their work. Funded by the Global Fund through UNICEF, these renovations aim to enhance maternal and child healthcare services. During an inspection tour, Ogwuche noted that the contractors had exceeded the initial six-week completion timeline and identified several defects in the ongoing work. He emphasized the need for adherence to approved standards and specifications. The six facilities undergoing renovation include PHC Ameladu, PHC Aliade, PHC Ayilamo, PHC Asa, PHC Orokam, and PHC Igede. Contractors have apologized for the delays and committed to completing the projects by July 30, 2026. The inspection team included officials from the National Primary Health Care Development Agency and UNICEF.
