Kafanchan (Kaduna), March 1, 2018 (NAN) Jema’a Local Government Council of Kaduna State has renovated and equipped four Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) to meet the health needs of rural dwellers.
Alhaji Yusuf Usman, the Administrator of the council, disclosed this on Thursday at the handing over of one of the healthcare centres at Gidan Waya.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the benefiting communities include Atuku, Godogodo, Gidan Waya and Maigizo wards.
The projects were the construction of new staff quarters for each of the PHCs.
Usman, who visited each of the benefiting communities, expressed satisfaction with the projects, adding that the aim was to impact positively on the people.
“Under the State Government policy of `255’, virtually all wards within the local council would be equipped with a functional PHC.
“The projects were made possible due to the support and determination of Gov. Nasir El-Rufai who prioritised rural development and has created the conducive environment for us to execute these projects,” he said.
Usman said rehabilitation of the Takau, Kafanchan A and B PHCs would soon be completed and put to use.
He advised the health workers at the respective centres to redouble their dedication to duty, urging the benefiting communities to support the workers by ensuring the safety and sanity of the centres.
Responding, Alhaji Buhari Adamu, the Dakachin Gidan Waya, representing the traditional rulers, thanked the government for the good work and for considering the welfare of the people.
Adamu assured of the community’s resolve to safeguard the healthcare facilities. (NAN)
