Connect With SANAN

We have noted your concerns regarding the pledged renovation of Ankpa General Hospital following the painful loss of our brother, Kebiru Muhammed (Kesman). We share in the community’s grief and its desire for improved healthcare, and we appreciate citizens who hold public commitments to account.

For clarity, SANAN FOUNDATION remains fully committed to the project. Through the Office of the Senior Technical Advisor, Health Systems Strengthening, Dr. Zakari Alhaji Usman, we formally wrote to the Kogi State Commissioner for Health, the Chief Medical Director, and the Chairman of Ankpa Local Government Area. With the effort of Dr. Zax, we secured immediate approval from both the Ankpa LGA Chairman and the CMD to proceed.

What is currently holding the commencement of work is the approval of the Honourable Commissioner for Health. His position is that the State Government has an ongoing plan to renovate a zonal hospital in every Local Government Area. To avoid duplication of resources and doing the same work twice, he has advised that we hold briefly while his office ascertains the full scope and timeline of the state’s intervention. Once that is clarified, the Foundation will be cleared to continue its intervention.

We respect public scrutiny. It is a vital part of check and balance. We only ask that it be done constructively and with verified information. SANAN FOUNDATION has never walked back on a commitment to Ankpa people, and we will not start now. We will update the public as soon as we receive the go-ahead from the State Ministry of Health.

We thank you for your advocacy and assure the community that this project has not been abandoned.
