First round of visits to the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs

Sequel to the advocacy visits to some MDAs, the NiCare management team led by the Executive Executive Secretary Niger State Contributory Health Agency(NiCare), concluded it's first round of visits to the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftancy Affairs. Stating their purpose of visit, E.S NiCare Sulayman Abu-Bakr, said just as in the previous visits to other MDAs, their aim there was to familiarise, strengthen partnership and seek for more support to move NiCare to match with Farmer Governor Muhammad Umar Bago’s mission for a "NewNiger" by providing quality health care for all residents of Niger State, and achieve Universal Health Coverage. Sulayman Abu-Bakr explained that the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftancy Affairs is key to the success of NiCare as it plays a vital role in facilitating communication with Local Government workers, traditional rulers and the local communities. He noted that to a great extent, engaging with grassroots gatekeepers enhances more support for NiCare which can result into more enrollees and better provision for quality and accessible health care services for all residents. While assuring the NiCare team of unflinching support and partnership, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftancy Affairs Honorable Mu'azu Hamidu Jantabo, encouraged NiCare to engage in discussion with the Organised Labour Union, as he will also be part of it to add value to the discussion. Honorable Jantabo, also intimated that NiCare will be invited for the Joint Accounts Allocation Committee(JAAC) meeting with Local Government Area Chairmen for presentation so as to strengthen collaboration.
