Apex News Exclusive reports that the enrollment of the beneficiaries in Manchok, Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State, had beneficiaries selected from across Manchok, Kaura, Bondong and Zankan Wards of the Local government area.
Speaking at the event, the initiator of the programme who is also the Director General, Nigerian Mining Cadastre Office, said the gesture was to give back to the community by assisting the less privileged who cannot access good and qualitative Health care.
Engineer Nkom who spoke through his representative, Mr. Jerry Adams, who is the Executive Director Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service, explained that he is currently paying the medical bills of about two hundred people who have been captured in the first phase of the programme.
He appealed to those who might have not benefited in the first and second phase, to be patient as more people will be captured subsequently.
In a remark, Village Head of Mai-Kajid, Mr. Bartholomew Bature, thanked the facilitator of the programme, noting that his investment in meeting the health needs for the people is timely and worthy of emulation.
He called on well meaning sons and daughters of Moroa Chiefdom to also invest more on their people, so as to improve on the socio-economic growth of the land.
Various speakers including some of the beneficiaries appreciated the donor, Engineer Obadiah Nkom for coming to their aid when they needed it most.
They prayed God to replenish all he has invested to see that vulnerable within the community get good and quality health care without spending a dime.
