According to a statement, signed by the Executive Director, the Development Research and Projects Centre (dRPC), Dr Judith Ann- Walker,Ganduje was commended for fulfilling the promise he made when the group led an advocacy visit to canvass for the constitution of the board last year.

Walker further asked the governor to follow up the constitution of the board with all other requirements needed for the implementation of the primary healthcare under one roof policy.

She described Kano State as a significant player in the health sector where if policy commitments are implemented, health indices in the country will significantly improve.

โ€œWe thank the governor for fulfilling this commitment and we urge the new board to hit the ground running by ensuring that the state maintains it proactive engagement in providing quality healthcare services for its citizens,โ€ the statement added.โ€
