The flag-off ceremony took place at the palace of the Emir of Damaturu, Alhaji Shehu Hashimi II Ibn Umar el-Amin El-Kenemi with the support of malaria partners.

The governor was represented by his deputy, Hon. Idi Barde Gubana, who was decorated at the event as the Net Ambassador of the state by the National Malaria Elimination Programme ( NMEP), Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Malaria Consortium (MC).

According to him, the government has approved the upgrade of the primary healthcare centers in Machina, Nguru, Jaji Maji, Yunusari, Yusufari, Babban-Gida and Bara to general hospitals in fulfillment of its promise to establish one general hospital in each local government headquarters.

Buni also urged traditional rulers, community and religious leaders to cooperate with officials of state’s health institutions and support the initiative of spreading the free treated nets.
