He said, "Alhamdulillah, as I keep on saying time and again, all the components of our Six Point agenda, from security, education, health, agriculture, to infrastructure and economic development, all the deliverables designed for the sectors are rightly falling in place. We are pleased to state that Zamfara State is on the path to prosperity.
"As part of our modest effort in the health sector, we have provided a comprehensive healthcare approach encompassing essential medicines, preventive measures, health policy updates, water, sanitation, and hygiene protocols, health treatments, immunization, antenatal and nutrition services, and strengthening healthcare financing. This modest effort of honourable Kabiru is therefore timely.
