The Rivers State Contributory Health Protection Programme has commended the Sole Administrator of the state, retired Vice Admiral Ibok Ete-Ibas, for prioritising healthcare delivery.
Speaking at a sensitisation and awareness training programme in Port Harcourt, the Acting Executive Secretary of the agency, Dr. Vetty Agala, said the Sole Administrator has remained resolute in protecting families from sickness.
She highlighted milestones recorded under his administration and advised Rivers residents to obtain their National Identification Number (NIN) to enable them to enroll in the programme.
Dr. Agala announced that revalidation will commence in September but warned that those without NIN will not be captured in the exercise.
She further revealed that the agency is investing in an ICT system with a 24/7 call centre to effectively address the needs of the people.
