Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 23, 2007, the Chinese Government and the Government of Nigeria signed a $12.5 million grant agreement for the China-Nigeria Friendship Hospital Construction Project. This project involved the construction of the 150-bed Federal Staff Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria. The Government of Nigeria donated the 4.85 hectares of land where the hospital was built. It also provided the necessary infrastructural facilities, which included portable water, electricity and temporary access roads. Anhui Construction Engineering Group Overseas Co., Ltd. was the contractor responsible for implementation. It signed a project implementation contract on August 7, 2009. Then, construction commenced on May 20, 2010 and was completed by April 2012. The China-Nigeria Friendship Hospital (or Nigerian-Chinese National Hospital) was officially commissioned and handed over to the Nigerian authorities on January 28, 2013. The Chinese Government also agreed to provide a supplementary grant of medical equipment and materials worth 250 million Naira (see Record ID#61184).
