Gov Simon Lalong of Plateau has urged the incoming administration in the state not to abandon ongoing projects.

The governor called on Thursday during the inauguration of the Riyom General Hospital and Trauma Center, Riyom water treatment plant, Kuru ginnery, and other projects in the state.

While inaugurating the hospital, the governor said that the project, which started in 2005, was not abandoned by his administration because of the high premium he placed on healthcare in the state.

He said that his administration was committed to providing quality and affordable healthcare services to the people of the local government and Plateau in general.

He urged the incoming administrations to complete his ongoing legacy project at the Government Secondary schools in the area to facilitate a conducive environment for access to quality education.

Lalong noted that Riyom has benefited from several major projects, which included its water treatment plant project, which he inherited from the previous administration.

Earlier in his remarks, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nimkomg Lar, said that the hospital has a 60-bed capacity and 20-bed capacity in its trauma center.

He said the hospital was equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment facilities to ensure effective service delivery to residents in the area.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the governor also flagged off cotton ginning at the Kuru ginnery and inaugurated the mineral processing area of the Mineral Development Company.

Other projects also inaugurated were Nigerian Standard’s city line printing press and legacy primary school Bukuru.
