The Delta State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has applauded
the Federal Government led by President Mohammadu Buhari, GCFR, for
the take-off of Basic Health care Provision Fund, which seeks to
reform how health care is financed and delivered in Nigeria.
Senator Okowa, who made the commendation today in his office,
when the team from the Federal Ministry of Health, led by the
Permanent Secretary, Mr. Abdulaziz Mashi Abdullahi, paid him a
visit, noted that the gesture from the Federal government pointed
to the fact that the government was committed to improving the
health of Nigerians.
He therefore called on the Delta State health officials to make
sure all the necessary structures were put in place to facilitate
the swift implementation of Huwe in Delta State.
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary Mr. Abdulaziz Mashi Abdullahi
