The over 33 years of struggle by the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) to secure Certificate of Occupancy has yielded dividends.
Kano State Government, on Tuesday, issued the hospital a Certificate of Occupancy, to the delight of management staff, who could not hide their excitement.
Presenting the certificate, the Permanent Secretary, Kano Bureau for Land Management, Dr Zainab Braji, said the state government had also banned encroachment on the hospital’s land.
She explained that the certificate given to the management of AKTH, differed from the popular type being issued to land or residential owners.
Braji congratulated the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Prof. Abdurrahman Sheshe, for the achievement.
Receiving the Certificate, Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Shehshe, commended the state government, just as he expressed happiness that the document was obtained during his tenure.
“For over 33 years, the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano,has been in existence without Certificate of Occupancy and all efforts to get it was said to be abortive,” he said.
NAN reports that for about 33 years, the hospital had struggled to obtain the certification, to no avail.
