It will also take care of medical cases like Hypertension, Diabetes, Malaria and lots more.
The Government has provided adequate medications for this exercise and we shall make eye glasses available to those that may require them.
Our administration earlier last week approved the periodic payment of salaries owed to the workers. We are therefore convinced that our doctors and other health workers in the State are in a very high spirit. They are well- motivated to ensure the success of this programme’ he added.

I commend all members of the Committee and health workers under Professor Peter Babatunde Olaitan’s leadership for their sacrifices in this call to duty’ he noted.
