Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State on Friday suspended a N1.3 billion hospital renovation project after publicly querying the quality of work.
He cited the use of low-quality materials and non-compliance with project specifications.
The project is for the renovation and remodelling of the Gumel General Hospital.
Governor Namadi had conducted an unscheduled night inspection of the facility in Gumel Local Government Area.
The contract was awarded to Yasmeen Automobile Nigeria Limited last December, with an eight-month completion timeline.
