The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, has reiterated its commitment to delivering health care in the 774 local government areas across the country.
The National President of ALGON, Hon. Aminu Mu’azu Maifata said this in a statement heralding the planned technical workshop of ALGON Primary Health Care Revitalization and Operationalization Programme, PHC-ROP.
He said the workshop is leveraging on the collaborative commitment of critical stakeholders to deliver the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, SDGs.
According to him, the even is in collaboration with the office of the Special Adviser on Health to the President, the Federal Ministry of Health, and other stakeholders in an effort to develop institutional capacity and responsiveness required to ensure and enhance Primary Healthcare service delivery across the 774 LGAs in Nigeria.
Maifata added that the event aims at enabling the Local Governments to develop institutional mechanisms and multi-stakeholder engagements which would rejuvenate and entrench Primary Healthcare service delivery that has since eroded the rural health ecosystem in the Nigeria.
“This workshop is in line with President Tinubu’s efforts to give appropriate implementation to the provisions of the Constitution, which recognizes Local Governments as the third tier of government and in compliance with his Presidential mandate to the 10-Man Inter-Ministerial Committee To Enforce Supreme Court Judgement On Local Governments Autonomy,” he said.
