In a landmark decision, the Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, has initiated a move to provide health insurance for 10,000 basic school pupils in the state. This visionary step aims to ensure the health and well-being of the pupils, providing them with access to quality healthcare.
Dr Nureni has expressed his delight in announcing a groundbreaking initiative to provide health insurance for 10,000 basic school pupils in the state. This pioneering move, in collaboration with the Oyo State Health Insurance Agency (OYSHIA), aims to ensure the well-being and health of the pupils. He acknowledged the support of Dr. Sola Akande, the Executive Secretary of OYSHIA, in making this initiative a reality. The insurance program is expected to have a profound impact on the pupils, providing them with access to quality healthcare.
The initiative, in collaboration with the Oyo State Health Insurance Agency (OYSHIA), demonstrates the state government’s commitment to the welfare and development of its young citizens. Dr. Adeniran’s leadership and foresight have made Oyo State a pioneer in this aspect, setting a precedent for other states to follow.
“The Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr. Nureni Adeniran, has testified that the landmark achievement of providing health insurance for 10,000 basic school pupils is a testament to the unwavering commitment of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration to ensuring that basic education remains a cornerstone of sustainable development in Oyo State, recognizing that sound health is a critical factor in the pursuit of educational excellence.”
The health insurance program will offer comprehensive coverage, enabling the pupils to receive necessary medical attention without financial burdens. This proactive approach will contribute significantly to the overall growth and development of the children, fostering a healthier and more productive future generation.
The move has been hailed as a significant milestone in the state’s education sector, reflecting the government’s dedication to the well-being of its pupils. With the establishment of a six-man committee to oversee the implementation of the policy, the program is poised to be flagged off in September, marking a new era in healthcare for basic school pupils in Oyo State.
Dr. Adeniran’s initiative has been widely applauded, and his commitment to the pupils’ well-being has earned him accolades. As Oyo State takes the lead in this innovative approach, it sets a shining example for others to emulate, ultimately contributing to a brighter future for Nigeria’s youth.
