Ms El-Imam on Wednesday in Ilorin said that the state executive council observed that recent facility upgrades under the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq administration had earlier qualified the facility as a postgraduate training health institution and approved an additional N906.7 million fund to push through the historic transition.
