Taraba State Governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, has announced the intention of his administration to name the proposed Wukari General Hospital after an illustrious son of the ancient town, Chief David Sabo Kente.
Speaking on Sunday at a combined thanksgiving service to commemorate the 60th birthday anniversary of Kente held at Christian Reformed Church of Nigeria (CRCN), Wukari, the governor said the new hospital would replace the old hospital which has been converted to the Federal University of Wukari Teaching Hospital.
The governor, who described Kente, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State as a philanthropist who has contributed in no small measure to the development of Wukari in particular and Taraba as a whole, noted that the new hospital would be a befitting recognition of his unparalleled service to the people of the state.
