The newly appointed Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Health Monitoring, Dr Michael Nwoko has assumed duty with courtesy visits to the Commissioner for Health and the General Manager, Delta Broadcasting Service, Asaba.


At the State Ministry of Health, Dr. Nwoko informed the commissioner that he chose to make his office the first port of call, to meet with him and other officials of the ministry with a view to working in synergy to actualize Governor Okowa’s health programmes embedded in the Governor’s stronger Delta agenda, for a healthier and a more prosperous Delta State.

 
He solicited the cooperation of the ministry to ease his duties.


Responding, Health Commissioner,  Dr. Mordi Ononye, described Dr. Michael Nwoko as a seasoned and dynamic professional who as SA to the Governor on Contributory Health Commission, proved his worth as a loyal and committed public servant. 

Dr. Ononye said he had no doubt that Dr. Nwoko had the wealth of experience to guide him in the discharge of his duties.


The Commissioner wished the SSA well in his new assignment.


Meanwhile, Dr Nwoko has been assured of the readiness of Delta Broadcasting service, Asaba to partner with his office  to enable him reach out to Deltans on the state government’s health policies and programmes.


Dr. Nwoko, the new SSA to the Governor on Health Monitoring, received the assurance from the General Manager of the station,  Mrs Evelyn Binitie, when he paid a courtesy visit to the media house.


The SSA had recalled that DBS as the widest broadcast house in the state, had assisted in the past in publicising the Health programs and policies of the Okowa administration and therefore creating the much needed awareness to Deltans as to the achievements of the Governor in the Health Sector. 

Dr Nwoko noted that while serving as SA to the Governor on Contributory Health Commission, he worked assiduously alongside other key players for the huge success of the Health Insurance scheme initiative of Governor Okowa, which made the scheme a unique model in the country with many states of the federation adopting the Delta model in establishing their Health Insurance scheme.
