Last night, I received the newest Federal Ministry of Health’s survey which shows Kwara under our watch as the best state in which a child can be born and raised (NDHS, 2024).

At 14/1000, the report shows that our state has the lowest under-5 mortality rate in Nigeria.

While this report tells us that our investment in primary health care is a step in the right direction, I assure the people of our state that we will not become complacent. We will do more to make things a lot better.

We are indeed proud of the current standing of Kwara State under our watch.
