BUA International Limited has announced plans to construct a N7.5billion ultra-modern specialist hospital in Kano state.

Abdulsamad Rabiu, executive chairman of the company, said this when Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano, visited the corporate headquarters of BUA in Lagos on Tuesday.

Rabiu commended Ganduje for his “strides towards making Kano state a viable destination for businesses”.

He also expressed contentment with the private-public partnership initiatives of the state government, while assuring the governor of BUA Group’s willingness to collaborate with the state on various projects.

Speaking on the ultra-modern specialist hospital, Rabiu thanked Ganduje for approving land for the project in the heart of the state’s city.
