“Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi, is set to open the International Investment Summit. The aim is to mimic what is happening everywhere, part of it is to achieve medical tourism.


“We are having an exhibition from Thursday, which is a medical scientific exhibition on research and training. During this exhibition, people will come to display medical equipment.


“The hospital is also going to set up a VIP clinic,” Hwande said.


He identified water and electricity supply as the major challenges confronting the hospital.
