According to the invitation issued by the NGF Director General, Mr. Asishana Okauru, the Forum will be receiving opening remarks and a briefing from the new NGF Chairman before the business of the day snowballs into the few presentations on the nation’s economy.
The virtual meeting which is scheduled to commence at 4 pm, will also feature an “update on the NG-CARES and SABER projects both anchored by the world bank for a continuous propping of the states and the survival of the subnational population.
“In addition, at the teleconference meeting, there would be the adoption of the last NGF meeting.
“At the last NGF meeting, it was discussed that the Forum launched a Primary Health Care (PHC) Leadership Challenge – a flagship programme to revamp the Primary Health Care Under One Roof (PHCUOR) policy in the country by maximizing the commitment of state governors to PHCUOR, promoting a progressive increase in PHC funding, and ensuring all primary health care centers have the requisite human resource capacity,” the statement read.
