Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reassured residents that the Massey Children’s Hospital will be fully operational by next year.
The hospital, located on the Island, is set to become the largest pediatric hospital in sub-Saharan Africa.
Governor Sanwo-Olu inspected the construction site and expressed satisfaction with the progress made. He stated that the major civil works would be completed by the end of this year, followed by extensive finishing. The hospital will feature a multi-level car park, a helipad, and state-of-the-art facilities.
The governor emphasized the importance of this project, recalling that the groundbreaking ceremony took place less than two years ago. He highlighted the commitment and quality of work being done by the contractors, ensuring that the hospital meets the highest standards.
Sanwo-Olu affirmed Lagos’s need for such a health facility, noting that the existing Massey Children’s Hospital is nearly 100 years old. He expressed his desire to not only revive the hospital’s name but also create a structure that would serve the community for generations to come.
