The people of Polobubo (Tsekelewu) community in Egbema Kingdom, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, have raised alarm over the continued abandonment of their Cottage Hospital.
They said lack of a hospital in the community has already caused the death of hundreds of people that needed urgent medical attention.
Polobubo is home to several major oil operations, including Chevron Nigeria Limited’s Opuekeba and Olero Fields, the NPDC/Elcrest Joint Venture’s Opuama Flow Station (OML 40), and marginal field operators such as Sahara Energy and Conoil Nigeria Limited.
Constructed at a cost of ₦596 million through a partnership between Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) and the Egbema-Gbaramatu Community Development Foundation (EGCDF) under the Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU), the hospital was officially handed over to the Delta State Government in 2018. Since then, however, it has remained non-operational.
