Mathan awarded contract for Comprehensive Primary Health Care Centres
2007 · Mathan Nigeria Limited
The contract covers all 774 of Nigeria's local government areas.
The programme was conceived by Senator Athan Achonu to transform healthcare delivery at the grassroots level, by bringing a fully built primary healthcare centre to every local government area in the country. Mathan's capabilities and record played a central role in securing the contract.
One design for every centre
Each centre is built to the same prototype: a main hospital building, doctor's quarters and a gatehouse on one compound, each built in four phases from foundation to finishing.
584 centres completed, with work continuing on the remaining 190 sites across six geopolitical zones.
Programme status as at 21 October 2026
How the remaining sites are delivered
On the remaining sites, subcontractors carry out the building work while Mathan's site supervisors inspect each phase, report progress weekly and confirm that each phase is complete before the next begins. Every finished site closes with a completion certificate and handover documentation.
