March 25, 2015 laid foundation for construction of
Teaching Hospital of the University of Agriculture in
Akwete, Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue.
Jonathan, represented by Vice President Namadi
Sambo, said the teaching hospital was in fulfillment
of his promise to rebuild the nation's infrastructure
and provide quality education to the people.
He said his administration had established 14
universities with 10 located in the North while 4 were
cited in the South, explaining that the development
had provided ample opportunities for youths to
obtain qualitative education.
The president added that the establishment of the
teaching hospital in Otukpo was aimed at boosting
health delivery to the people of the area.
Senate President David Mark said he was
overwhelmed by the gesture of the President to
locate the university in his domain.
Mark commended Jonathan for continuing with the
Transformation Agenda.
He advised Jonathan not to join issues with his
political foes, whom he said, were bent on distracting
him.
He said the teaching hospital would be one of the
President's enduring legacies long after his exit from
political office.
The Minister of Health, Dr Khaliru Alhassan, said the
Otukpo teaching hospital was one of those
established recently.
The Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, urged
the Idoma people to reciprocate the good gesture by
giving their bloc votes to the President and the PDP.
Gov. Gabriel Suswam, appealed to the people to vote
for the President, whom he said, was committed to
transforming the economy through job creation to
uplift the standard of living.
