Buni approves enrollment of 1,403 vigilantes into contributory healthcare scheme

Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe has approved free enrollment of 1,403 vigilantes into the informal sector of the state’s contributory healthcare scheme.

Dr Babagana Tijjani, Executive Secretary, Yobe State Contributory Health Care Management Agency, stated this at a news conference in Damaturu on Thursday.

He commended the gesture aimed at boosting the morale of vigilance groups to render effective service to the people.

“I’m pleased to announce with great admiration the commitment of the Yobe State Government under the able leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni, who approved and paid for the enrolment of 1,403 vigilantes into the informal sector programme.

“Recognising the invaluable contributions of vigilantes to the security and wellbeing of our communities, this initiative aims to ensure their easy access to quality healthcare services without financial barriers.

“By extending healthcare coverage to vigilantes, the state government has demonstrated a sense of gratitude for their dedication and bravery in maintaining peace and security across the state,” Tijjani said.

The executive secretary called on the business community, non-governmental organisations and other groups to key into the scheme for its numerous benefits.

“We, therefore, invite business groups, NGOs, philanthropists and other stakeholders to participate in the contributory healthcare schemes, which will strengthen our collective efforts towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.

“Healthcare is a fundamental human right, and it is imperative that we leave no one behind in our pursuit of accessible and affordable healthcare for all residents of the state.

“By this commitment, Yobe State Government has further reaffirmed its total commitment towards the realisation of Universal Health Coverage in the state,” he said.
