The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday approved N62 billion for the construction of Kano – Gwarzo – Dayi Road, linking Kano and Katsina states.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the FEC meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja.

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, was also at the briefing.

Fashola said: “The Ministry of Works and Housing presented one memorandum for the construction of Kano – Gwarzo -Dayi road and it was approved for N62.7 billion, to be executed in 24 months.”

On his part, Ehanire said the council approved the introduction of platonic medical records and management for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

He said the platform would help manage payments and claims as well as health records of patients to enhance transparency and accountability.

The minister said: “The ministry of health presented a memo on behalf of the National Health Insurance Scheme to introduce platonic medical records and management in a concept known as e-NHIS, creating an electronic governance platform.

“This will allow interoperability with all other stakeholders including particularly the State Health Insurance Schemes, Health Management Organisations, and hospitals, who offer services to patients.

“This will be a platform for managing payments and claims and also patient records to install transparency and accountability.

“This is necessary because the basic healthcare provision fund is going onstream and will include a large number of people being registered so that we move away from paper to electronic management.”

They're not even pretending.....the greed is so blatant and in-your-face!

Their confidence and cockiness to do what they're doing stems from the fact that they believe they're dealing with mugu southerners who are so daft, they're yet to realise they're being played!

Daddysidhan:
Buhari is the worst president ever in the history of this country

OfficialAwol:


All things being equal, no Fulani will smell Aso Rock in the next 50 years after Buhari.

Nigerian presidency will from thence rotate between the East, West, Middlebelt and the Kanuris of Northeast.

Rugaria:

Folks seldom noticed that Since the inception of this republic in 1999, there has always been a fulani at the presidency! In 1999, Atiku Abubakar was Obasanjos deputy for 8 solid years! He is fulani! Obasanjo later handed over to Yaradua, Who is also fulani! Nemadi Sambo who was Jonathan's deputy is fulani. Jonathan handed over to Buhari, another fulani! That means that in a country of over 300 ethnic groups, one group has been either the president or the deputy for 21 years and counting! Go to Abuja and see how they live in opulence, totally removed from the squalor their rampant maladministration creates everywhere. It even gets very stunning, when you realise that this group were not here 300 years ago! These are a very irritating strand of parasitic immigrants. In Guinea, from whence the wriggled out, they have never been president. But here in Nigeria, they straddle around like sons of thunder! Whenever it's the turn of the north, the fulani takes it, without any noise. The question is: have we replaced British colonialism with fulani gerentocracy in Nigeria!?

They've succeeded in all these because they've, over the years, found useful idiots like Tinubu, among southern politicians.

I'm always angered at the audacity with which they speak about any issue concerning Nigeria.

While people from the East and West will be issuing communiques with all decency and decorum, the Fulanis who speak for the North will be issuing threats and jittery politicians from the south will start to piss in their pants and render themselves subservient to the caliphate.

But let's see how it goes.

Shey na Nigeria we dey

Rugaria:

These coming from the group that contributes the least... Just cows and ewe and onions at the most exhorbitant prices... How can you be giving ultimatums to the people that feeds you? The whole scenerio is infuriating..

naija4life247:

No way, Obasanjo and Goatluck are the worst. Even the roads that lead to Obasanjo and Goatluck towns, Buhari is constructing them. Obasanjo and Goatluck, two idiots that did nothing for their people while in power but embezzled enough money for their 20th generation.

OfficialAwol:


They know that if Nigeria breaks up, it's game over for them. That's why they wanna protect Nigeria with their blood.

But it's a matter of time
