Arabi explained that the commercialisation of the clinic would boost its revenue and augment the appropriation it receives from the government in the quest for a better qualitative service.

"The Centre is the only health centre in Abuja where patients are not required to pay any dime before consultation. ‘In other government hospitals in Abuja, patients are required to pay for consultation, treatment, laboratory tests and others but that has not been the case with the State House Medical Centre," he said.
