Convert National Assembly Building into a World-class National Hospital

Convert National Assembly building into a Worldclass National Hospital. It will be more timely and economical, and can be used in the aftermath of the Covid19 pandemic. With the broken economy, Nigeria cannot afford to fund building a world-class Hospital from scratch. The N37bn can be used to facilitate the conversion and procurement of equipment.
This can be the swiftest strategy to respond to the health crisis in the country and to reduce the importation of healthcare services. Now that healthcare exports are restricted by foreign countries. In case, National Assembly members want a new space, they can then take over the current National Hospital building or at least share the Villa with the President.
Nigeria would have to spend more in the aftermath of the #Covid19 to bail out businesses and protect jobs, there will not be enough money to adequately upgrade the health sector. Radical changes like this can be smooth in tough situations like this one.
