The Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has appealed to Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team AMURT to upgrade facilities in the primary health care centres in the state to improve maternal and child health.
The governor made the appeal when he received in his office the Norwegian Ambassador to Nigeria, Svein Baera, on Tuesday.
The Governor also sought the partnership of the Norwegian Government in the provision of basic and life-sustaining facilities across healthcare services, energy, infrastructure, water, and sanitation sectors.
This, he said, is in line with the government’s drive for human capital development and to improve the health status of the citizens, especially women and children.
“We know you have made so many contributions to this country. Through the Norwegian College of Agricultural Project NORCAP, you established schools for our people.
“People from this school are very sound.
“We will always partner with you, cooperate with you, and support you to achieve your purpose.
“We want you to provide solar lights, water, and equip our hospitals and primary health centres in the rural areas,” the governor said.
Earlier, Ambassador Svein Baera commended the Governor for his interest in healthcare and Education
“I have heard so many things you have accomplished in the education and health sector and infrastructure, and when I went round the state yesterday, I saw everything by myself.
“As an ambassador of Norway, it is not enough to stay in Abuja and Lagos to know Nigeria. I say it will be good to travel to other places in the country.
“I will be inspecting the Norwegian College of Agricultural Project, established over 62 years ago.”
