The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) will today, December 12 name the best performing state in the area of primary health care among the nation’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)

NGF’s Director, Media and Strategic Communications, Yunusa Abdullahi, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday.

Abdullahi said the initiative tagged: “The Primary Health Care (PHC) Leadership Challenge,” is a national programme that rewards outstanding leadership by state governors in strengthening primary health care delivery.

The challenge, he added, is rooted in the Seattle Declaration of 2019, unanimously adopted by all 36 state governors, and serves as a catalyst for stronger governance, improved financing, and greater accountability in the primary health care sector.

Abdullahi quoted the NGF’s Chairman and governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, as emphasized the significance of the initiative, noting that it has become a beacon of what strong, accountable leadership can achieve in our health system.

It celebrates results, rewards performance, and ultimately delivers better care for our people.
