The Director-General, KADCHMA, Mr Aliyu Saidu, said that the identification and enrollment exercise cut across 17 local government areas of the state.
“We will complete the remaining three local governments soon so that all the vulnerable persons in the state can enjoy the scheme.

Saidu said that the exercise recorded huge success, with the assistance of stakeholders in the state.
He commended council chairmen, traditional title holders and other relevant stakeholders for contributing immensely to the success of the exercise by creating an enabling environment in their various areas.
The director-general said that the authority was looking forward to more assistance and collaboration with them as it would soon cover the remaining three local government areas.
He also appealed to residents of the state to enroll into the scheme to enhance good health care delivery.
