” We are using this opportunity to get others to keen on this health scheme.
“Today we have just finalized the first 500 he promised and he also promised 90 to do 30-30-30 so three months down the line he has promised to do 90.
The Director General called on members of the society to emulate the good gesture by the lawmaker and registered residents for improved well-being.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on other politicians and well-to-do residents of Kaduna, and religious organizations to support the vulnerable in Kaduna and to also come out and support the efforts of the government towards ensuring that residents of Kaduna have ease of access to healthcare services in the state.
“This recognition is a sort of motivation to encourage him and others to do more. He said.
In his response, the lawmaker, Hon. Mukhtar Morovia said vulnerable, persons with disability (PWDs), and pregnant women are his priority in improving their health.
The lawmaker said the beneficiaries were selected from all the wards that make up Kaduna South Federal Constituency.
