The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has accused the Nigeria Governors Forum and other “interlopers” of delaying the N85 billion contract for the construction of 774 healthcare centers across Local Government Areas in Nigeria through their respective pending litigations.
CBN court documents (in suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1797/2024) exclusively reviewed by Nairametrics show that about 584 healthcare centers have so far been constructed, while 190 remain outstanding due to what the apex bank described as a “series of litigations.”
The legal dispute arose from a contract in 2007, approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the time, for the construction of comprehensive primary healthcare centers in each of the 774 Local Governments and Area Councils in Nigeria.
