Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang and his deputy, Ngo Josephine Piyo have launched the distribution of Safe Delivery Kits, also known as Mama Kits, to Primary Healthcare Centres in the State, with a call on those concerned to make a good use of the kits to enhance citizen’ well-being.
This is as the Governor also inspected a series of projects spanning across healthcare and infrastructure, where he reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fulfilling campaign promises and improving the welfare of the people.
Governor Mutfwang began his inspection tour at the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Jos, where he assessed the newly completed, state-of-the-art medical laboratory, fully equipped with modern laboratory facilities to provide quality healthcare services, particularly for indigent citizens.
He also toured the newly constructed administrative block, which houses the Electronic Medical Records System (E-Hospital), a digital innovation designed to enhance healthcare service delivery in the State.
Accompanied by the Hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Prof. Christopher Yilgwan, Governor Mutfwang reiterated his administration’s commitment to improving the healthcare system to ensure that citizens receive quality medical services that enable them to contribute meaningfully to the State’s economy.
He noted, “I am glad that today, Plateau State can boast of a first-class medical laboratory, comparable to any in the country and beyond. Our investment in healthcare, education, and infrastructure is not just about preserving assets but also about improving the quality of life and creating avenues for revenue generation to sustain further development.”
Governor Mutfwang also inspected the Plateau Club-Bingham University ACReSAL gully erosion project site, where there is the construction of a seven-kilometer drainage system designed to curb erosion within the Jos-Bukuru metropolis, and equally inspected the Tanti Hotel at Polo Roundabout, urging the contractors to redouble effort to complete the work.
At the Jos Wildlife Park, Governor Mutfwang inspected the ACReSAL fencing project, as well as the construction of a museum and storage facilities, a revitalization effort aimed at restoring the Park to its former glory, saying, “Even in its dilapidated state, the Jos Wildlife Park continues to attract visitors and tourists. However, we are determined to modernize it, making it a premier tourism destination that will attract both local and international visitors.”
