A non-governmental organization advancing the cause of Child-Spacing in Kaduna state, Family Health Advocates in Nigeria Initiative(FHANI)  has commended Governor Nasir El-Rufai for investing heavily in child-spacing.

In a statement issued on Monday in Kaduna by the Secretary of the organisation, Iliya Kure, FHANI described as uncommon the commitment the state government has shown in advancing the cause of child spacing by procuring N250million worth of consumables for use in the state.

According to the statement, “Kaduna State Government had sought for permission from the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) to procure child spacing commodities, which was the exclusive reserve of the FMoH. Approval with an advice to make such procurement through UNFPA was granted in 2019.

“FHANI is aware that Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufa’i has since the third quarter of the year issued a directive for disbursement of funds to UNFPA for procurement of child spacing commodities and consumables.

“We are optimistic that the items would be available soonest in the State to reach the end users – we eagerly await arrival of the products”, the statements said.

FHANI which held a Roundtable Meeting last September with critical stakeholders on child spacing, including government officials, traditional and religious leaders, CSOs and development partners, has not been relenting in follow-up on the issue and making sure Kaduna State government delivers on its Commitment on Child Spacing and other health issues.
