In his remark, Chairman Technical Working Group for the State Sexual and Reproductive Health and Director, Public Health, Dr Terna Kur acknowledged the importance of the programme in improving health and minimising gender-based violence, saying the technical working group would perfect the document and develop a plan to move the state forward.

Also speaking, State Team Leader, Heartland Alliance International, Miss Ngozika Ogbonna stated that it was expected of the Ministry of Health to foster partnership with other agencies to advance the implementation of reproductive health services and programme and operate a distinct budget line for reproductive programme in the state.

On his part, State Focal Person, Sexual Reproductive Health in the Ministry of Health, Mr Aondowase Apinega called on all relevant sectors and working groups to support interventions aimed at raising awareness on the available reproductive health services to ensure consistency of actions in the state.
