From Yakubu Mustapha Minna
The Concerned Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiative (GAVI) staff employed by the Niger State Primary Health Care Development Agency (NSPHCDA), has appealed to governor Mohammed Umar Bago to fast-track their absorption into permanent employment of the state.
The group in a letter dated 10th July ,2025 to the governor titled: Request for Absorption into Permanent Employment, Payment of Salaries, lamented that for over five months, they have not been paid salaries-making lives more difficult for the engaged health workers in Niger state.
According to the letter, they were fully engaged in May 2023 under a contract appointment to expand the availability of Human Resources for Health (HRH) in Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities across the state’s 25 Local Government Areas of the state.
An anonymous beneficiary who spoke to journalists in Minna, decried that despite their tireless efforts to promote the health of Niger state citizens, they have encountered significant difficulties hoping that Governor Mohammed Umar Bago will consider to address them.
