The National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMDP), Kogi State Chapter, has expressed deep appreciation to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for his visionary leadership and commitment to the welfare of healthcare workers in the state.
In a letter of appreciation jointly signed by the State Chairman, Dr. Olukoya Taiwo, and Secretary, Dr. Idris Ibrahim Nuhu, the association commended the governor for approving and implementing the Special Allowance for medical doctors working under the state government.

The association also commended the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adams Azeez; the Chief Medical Director, Hospital Management Board, Dr. Olayemi; and the Chairman, House Committee on Health, Hon. Usman Ochidi, for their collaborative roles in achieving this milestone.
“We equally appreciate the heads of affiliates and all behind-the-scene contributors whose efforts, consultations, and sacrifices made this achievement possible,” the letter added.
