“The people and government of Kano state will do all in our power to see that the objective of the laudable project is achieved”, Governor Ganduje stressed, promising that the success will be as resounding as the administration’s commitment to the tripartite agreement signed between Dangote, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations and the state government, to reinforce routine immunization.
He described the EU –SIGN project as a welcome intervention, at a time when the administration’s determination to strengthen routine immunization is at its zenith, noting that new case of Polio has been reported in the state or elsewhere in the country, in the past 17 months.
The governor stressed determination to complete all abandoned public health projects in the state and to embark on new ones that will bring the health care system in the state to the desired level.
On his part, the Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr. Ado Muhammad, represented by Dr. Adamu D. Dawud, explained that the project will undertake construction and rehabilitation of cold stores, supply of vehicles and computers so that vaccines are monitored and kept in potent conditions.
He maintained that “the global recognition of our combined efforts to stopping Polio transmission in Nigeria has to be fortified with effective routine immunization”.
In his remarks, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Kabir Ibrahim Getso explained that succeeding in the anti Polio war is very realistic, with the commitment of all partners and stakeholders. He expressed appreciation to the European Union, WHO, UNICEF, CHAI, Rotary International and others for standing by the state government to enable it improve its healthcare delivery system.
