"Four years for us is like four months. So we have no time. Now that the people have given us another mandate, we should be able to give them the best," he said.
Wike said his administration has commenced re-modelling the hospital because the former contractor failed to meet the required standard.
"The former contractor failed to execute the contract in line with the specifications of the project.
"If everything works well as we have agreed, we believe in the next three months, we will complete the 'Mother and Child Hospital'," he said.
