The Executive Chairman of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Hon. Engr. Bege Joseph Gaiya, has flagged off the upgrade of five Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the local government to improve access to quality healthcare services at the grassroots.
The flag-off ceremony took place earlier today in Magamiya community, Zonzon Ward, amid jubilation by residents and the presence of councillors, political appointees, district heads, community leaders, party members and supporters.
Speaking at the event, Gaiya said the initiative was aimed at upgrading the five healthcare centres to standard facilities capable of meeting the healthcare needs of residents while ensuring effective and efficient service delivery.
He stressed that the intervention was part of efforts to strengthen primary healthcare services and improve the wellbeing of people across the local government.
The council chairman also commended Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, for what he described as significant contributions to the development of Southern Kaduna, particularly through the execution of projects and appointments of indigenes of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area.
Gaiya urged the people of Southern Kaduna to support the All Progressives Congress (APC), calling on them to vote massively for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in the 2027 elections.
In separate remarks, stakeholders and representatives of the beneficiary communities expressed appreciation to the chairman for his commitment to grassroots development.
They also pledged their support for the re-election of President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in 2027.
Following the flag-off ceremony, Gaiya proceeded to Kaduna, where he joined some of his colleagues at the headquarters of the Kaduna State Primary Healthcare Board for a meeting.
