Executive Chairman of Potiskum Local Government Area, Hon. Salisu Muktari, has applauded Governor Mai Mala Buni for making the construction of a new general hospital in Potiskum a key component of the 2026 budget proposal.

Hon. Muktari said the project represents a major step forward for healthcare delivery in the zone, noting that Potiskum’s population and commercial activity have outgrown the carrying capacity of existing facilities.

He explained that once completed, the hospital will ease congestion at the Specialist Hospital, reduce the distance residents travel for medical care, and improve emergency response in the area.

“By including this hospital in the 2026 budget, His Excellency has again demonstrated a leadership style that listens to the needs of the people. Potiskum is a major center of trade and population growth, a modern general hospital here is not just important—it is overdue.” He said,

The Chairman added that the proposed facility will house essential medical units such as emergency services, maternity wards, surgical theaters, diagnostic labs, and pediatric care, making it a full-service health center for surrounding communities.

He said the gesture confirms the governor’s commitment to equitable development, ensuring that all zones benefit from government investment.

Hon. Muktari assured that the local government and host communities will provide full cooperation to support smooth execution of the project once the budget is passed by the House of Assembly.

He thanked Gov. Buni for continually expanding access to public services, describing the 2026 budget as a strong reflection of a government focused on saving lives and improving living standards.
