"The work site has been abandoned for over 2years, Out of the 14 structures previewed on the contract, only 7 has been taken to roof level. The others are at foundation level and worst of all is that the site has been completely abandoned" Hon. Bami Emmanuel Ngoketungia South (Balikumbat).


"Our mission is to follow up, evaluate and write a report addressing it to the person who will decide what will happen next. As representatives of the people, our concern is that, the hospital should be delivered to the people of the Northwest Region" Hon Bami E. told Press.
