The Yobe State House of Assembly has resumed plenary and taken a significant step to address challenges in the state’s healthcare and education sectors.
During the session, presided over by Speaker Chiroma Buba Mashio, the House approved a report from its Standing Committee on Primary Healthcare.
The report focuses on the operations and performance of the Yobe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (YSCHMA) and the Yobe State Drugs and Medical Consumables Management Agency (YODMA).
The approval signals the Assembly’s commitment to strengthening the healthcare system and aligning with the state’s goal of achieving universal health coverage.
The House also received a report from its Standing Committee on Basic and Secondary Education for review. The committee extensively deliberated on the report, which evaluates the state of education and proposes solutions.
Meanwhile, the House Committee on Disciplinary Matters recommended stepping down a petition against the Chairman of Potiskum Local Government, Alhaji Salisu Mutari, which had been under review, without disclosing the reasons for the decision during the plenary.
Speaker Mashio commended members for their diligence during the committee phase and urged them to remain focused as the House further deliberates on other reports.
