Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, has approved the extension of a dedicated 11KVA power line and the installation of a 200KVA transformer at the Sen. Oluremi Tinubu Mother and Child Specialist Hospital, Mallam Inna, Gombe.
The development is expected to significantly enhance uninterrupted electricity supply to the specialist hospital, which plays a critical role in maternal and child healthcare services in the state.
Following the Governor’s approval, the Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Hon. Sanusi Ahmed Pindiga alongside his counterpart in the Ministry of Healt, Dr. Habu Dahiru and the Chief Medical Director of the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Dr. Yusuf Abdullahi earlier today undertook a joint inspection visit to the facility to assess the level of work done.

During the visit, the contractor handling the project assured the joint team that all outstanding requirements would be concluded promptly, including securing certification from the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) and approval from the Jos Electricity Distribution (JED) Plc, ahead of the planned energisation of the transformer next week.
