“The policy was developed through extensive stakeholder consultations to ensure comprehensive recommendations for overcoming current challenges in the health sector.

“The Human Resources for Health Policy will serve as a framework to ensure the right number and mix of competent, motivated, and equitably distributed health workers for optimal healthcare service delivery.

“Its strategic objectives include maintaining an adequate number of qualified health workers and managing employment, deployment, retention, and performance effectively.”

Sani also approved the Kaduna State Climate Change Policy “which provides a comprehensive framework to tackle the impact of climate change impacts, promote sustainability, and align with national and international climate goals”.

“The policy will focus on public education, monitoring systems, and sustainable development initiatives to prepare Kaduna State for future climate challenges,” the statement added.
