The Executive Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello
Ahmadu Jibril, Special Assistant, Youths and Students to Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, has told Nigerians to expect an overhaul of Nigeria’s health sector if Bello is elected President in 2023.
Jibril made this known on Saturday during the Nigerian Medical Students’ Association (NIMSA) International Health Summit 2021 at the Baze University, Abuja, where he represented the governor.
This is also as Jibril commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his efforts in boosting the health sector under his administration.
Jibril urged Nigerians to expect all the benefits of an effective health system like ultramodern hospitals and facilities, improved wages for doctors, insurance policies, amongst others under Bello’s Presidency.
Jibril said that governor Bello has achieved an effective and reliable heath system under his New Direction Government which he is ready to replicate in the country as President.
“For any country to function, three sectors are very key; One is the health sector, second is the education sector and third is the security sector.
“These are part of the basis we are gathering here today, to identify how we can improve the quality of our lives through the quality of medical services to our people.
Summit, with the theme “Noncommunicable Disease in the COVID-19 Era. Cancer as a Case Study”, birthed the launch of the NIMSA Policy document.
The Policy document seeks to advocate for Medical Insurance and prevention of rape.
Jibril commended the Medical Students for developing a policy document, adding that it was a step in the right direction to get involved in the process of governance in the country.
He said that Youths and students can only get the desired change they have been clamouring for if they get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) and get involved in the process of governance.
The event was attended by Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Mrs Zainab Bagudu, Wife of the Kebbi State governor, and Dr Baba Ahmed, Proprietor, Baze University, amongst others.
Governor Bello was also conferred with a Distinguished Leadership Award by the body. (NAN)
