Health is a priority for everyone and is on such premise that the Niger State Contributory Health Agency is seen as a strategic tool to achieving the transformational agenda of His Excellency Farmer Governor Mohammed Umar Bago of improving livelihoods for all in the state by providing easy access to quality health care. However, NiCare cannot achieve this without the planning Commission. Looking at the importance of planning, NiCare management decided to pay an advocacy visit to the Niger Planning Commission. Briefing the commissioner for Planning Commission, Executive Secretary Niger State Contributory Health Agency Sulayman Abu-Bakr said NiCare has the strong zeal to move the state forward to match with Farmer Governor Muhammad Umar Bago’s agenda of "NewNiger" and improving livelihood of the people. He said NiCare needs planning to map out strategic stakeholders and philanthropists to get more people enrolled into the scheme. He sought for a strong and affective collaboration with the Planning Commission and other relevant stakeholders. He requested for recommendation for statutory release for 1% State counter Funds. The E.S also sought for support in terms of sensitization and more operational vehicles. The Agency has also planned to pay advocacy visit to the caucus of the National assembly members representing Niger State sometime next week. This is familiarise with them and inform them on NiCare's mission to facilitate easy healthcare financing through pooling to provide financial risk protection. Responding, the Commissioner for Planning Commission Honorable Mustapha Ndajiwo, advised the Agency to be transparent in whatever it's dion in order to be accountable to all the stakeholders. While assuring to assist in the release of funds that are in the budget for NiCare, the Commissioner also promised to explore other intervention programmes and get more support for NiCare. He then commended NiCare team for the good job done so far with the little available resources.
