Nigerian Governor Appoints 131 Women As Aides

Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has appointed 131 women as aides into various political positions.

The spokesman to the governor, Bologi Ibrahim, in a statement on Sunday said 41 of the appointees were to serve as coordinators while the remaining 90 would serve as Senior Special Assistants (SSAs).

While congratulating the appointees, the governor called on them to be dedicated and contribute their quota to the success of his administration’s policy thrusts.

Bago said the appointments were in fulfillment of his campaign promise to allow women the chance to contribute to the building of the state.

GWG.ng reports that the action of the Niger State governor, Bago in appointing 131 women as aides came as the Kaduna State Contributory Health Management Agency (KADCHMA) said it has enrolled more than 500,000 people into the scheme since its inception in 2020.

 Alhaji Abubakar Alhassan, Director General of KADCHMA, disclosed this at the enrolment of 120 pregnant women into the scheme by Lifidi Jama’a Charity Foundation in Kafanchan, Kaduna State.

He stated that the figure comprised persons in the formal and informal sector, adding that 98 per cent coverage had been achieved for those in the formal sector of the state.

“As regards the informal sector, largely made up of vulnerable groups, we are not where we expect to be but we are making progress.

The KADCHMA boss commended the foundation for its efforts at ensuring pregnant women were not left out of the scheme.

“Today is another milestone for us and you know what that translates to for these pregnant women.

“It means that for the next one year, these 120 women will be doing their antenatal and eventually be put to bed under our scheme.
