Donu Primary Healthcare Centre
On 1 February 2026, Tribune Online reported that Hon. Umar Yusuf Yabo, Member representing Yabo/Shagari Federal Constituency, inspected the completed and renovated Donu Primary Healthcare Centre. The Whistler Newspaper reported the same inspection two days later, on 3 February 2026, describing the facility as newly completed and renovated.
Four further outlets carried the same inspection in that week. Blueprint Newspapers reported on 2 February 2026 that the lawmaker had completed and donated the primary healthcare centre to the Donu community, and inspected the site of the renovated centre; the Daily Nigerian reported it as part of ongoing work to improve access to healthcare and social infrastructure; West Nigeria, the ThisDay network outlet, ran it on 2 February 2026 under the byline of Onuminya Innocent; and Naija Tips Land republished the Blueprint report.
During the visit he assessed the quality of the renovation and engaged community leaders, health workers and residents. He is reported to have expressed satisfaction with the standard of the work, and to have described the centre as part of a broader initiative to strengthen community-level healthcare delivery.

All fields above are taken from Tribune Online (1 February 2026), Blueprint Newspapers (2 February 2026), the Daily Nigerian (2 February 2026), West Nigeria (2 February 2026) and The Whistler (3 February 2026). None of these publications states a contract value, a contractor, a completion date, or the number of households served, so this site does not state any of those. The donation to the community rests on Blueprint Newspapers and its syndication, and is presented as that report. A before-and-after comparison is deliberately not presented, because no verified photograph of the facility before the works has been located — see the note below the gallery.
