The Benue State Government and the Sinoki System Limited for the establishment of a Hybrid Solar Panel Factory in the State.
Also, the State government has brokered a partnership with the Shanghai Haitian Hospital.
This partnership will facilitate academic and clinical interchange between Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi, and Shanghai.
It will cover areas of joint studies, training activities, and other educational exchanges of mutual interest.
These partnerships were sealed with the signing of two Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) at the Old Banquet Hall of the Benue State Government House, Makurdi on Monday.
After the signing, Governor Hyacinth Alia described the partnership with the Shanghai Haitian Hospital as a bold step taken to improve the overall health sector in the state.
Governor Alia also said it will encourage health tourism to the state while opening up many avenues of investments in the State.
“I am quite excited because our administration’s focus is to improve the health sector in the state that will be capable of increasing the lifespan of our people.
“The Benue State University Teaching Hospital as a partner in this is going to benefit from this collaboration, and we hope to discourage our people from going overseas on medical tourism.
“There is nothing wrong in translating the finances spent elsewhere into our system. The partnership with the Shanghai Haitian Hospital will open more doors, especially as we also have Tertiary healthcare systems here in the state.
“Where we inherited total collapse of the healthcare system, we need to put all machinery in place to ensure that beginning from the primary to our tertiary health institutions, there are improvements.”
Governor Alia also spoke about the partnership with Sinoki System Company establishing a Hybrid Solar Panel Factory in Benue State.
He said it would be a quick fix to the epileptic power challenge faced in the state, stabilize electricity availability, and enable the business to thrive.
“The partnership will be a plus to the State. The business partnership will bring about the establishment of a Hybrid Solar Panel Company in Benue State, through a Private Partnership agreement between the Benue State Government and Sinoki System Limited. We are excited about this because it will open more investment doors in the state.
“As I have mentioned at some other forums, we are a state that is open for business, and we are welcoming investors into our state to come and do business.
“The establishment of the Hybrid solar panel company in the state has come at a time when the electricity situation has been epileptic.
“But for business to thrive, we need some stability of electricity. This is one quick fix to the anxiety, and I am very excited about it.”
William Wang, a Director of the Shanghai Haitian Hospital, represented the Hospital while Liu Hai Ding represented Sinoki System Limited.
