Speaking at the ceremony, the director general (DG) of the Delta State Contributory health commission, Olorogun Dr. Isaac Akpoveta, appreciated the donor for investing in the lives and health of his people.
According to Dr. Akpoveta, recently Hon. Dr Olotu Akpodiete approached me that, even before he run for the last general elections, it has been his desire to enrol people on the health scheme. He first enrolled fifty persons, I encouraged him to do more and here we are today with over one hundred & twenty persons fully enrolled.
Dr. Akpoveta further said that prior to their resumption into the health commission, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, gave them matching order to recognise as many individuals that would key into the scheme with special award as health insurance ambassador(HIA), which is why we are honouring you today with this special award”. He stated.
In his response, Hon. Dr. Olotu Akpodiete thanked His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for this recognition, maintained that giving back to the vulnerable and the society at large has been his desire, I believe this will spur me to eventually do more for my people in line with M.O.R.E agenda of the Governor.
Also, responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Amb Kennedy Ivwromonena Atevure, sincerely thanked Hon. Akpodiete for this good gesture. He said that the donor is not the richest, but for taking this bold step to pay seven thousand per each beneficiaries for over hundred people, you will agree with me that, these are the kind of people we should elect into political offices.
