#BBB NEWS| Kano State To Introduce Health Scheme For Workers - Umar Ganduje

The Kano State government will soon introduce a proactive contributory health scheme for its workers, the state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has announced.

He said the system would be at variance with the conventional health insurance scheme, taking into cognizance certain imperative sociocultural considerations.

The governor disclosed this while receiving executive members of the state branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in his office, and stated the move would allow Kano State to establish a framework for affordable health care services to workers.

Governor Ganduje also stressed the need for a sustainable housing scheme for Kano workers, assuring that all gray areas relating to the Kano NLC housing project would be looked into with a view to solving them soon. He also stated that the government is looking at the possibility of re-engaging into the Federal Mortgage Housing Scheme for the state workers.
