Kano State Government has expanded its social protection interventions with the approval of a free healthcare programme targeting 20,000 orphans and senior citizens across the state.
This was conveyed in a statement signed by the Director of Public Enlightenment of the Kano State Social Protection Agency (KASPA), Rabiu Khalil Kura.
The initiative is being implemented by KASPA as part of its mandate to provide social care and protection services to the poor and most vulnerable members of society.
Speaking during a roundtable discussion with agency directors at its Kano headquarters, the Director General, Dr. Fateema Abubakar Abdullahi (Amneef), said the programme aligns with the social protection agenda of the Kano State Government under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. It is aimed at easing hardship and improving access to essential services for vulnerable populations.

Dr. Abdullahi explained that the free healthcare intervention will focus on orphans and senior citizens, ensuring they receive timely medical attention without financial barriers.
She added that eligible beneficiaries will soon be able to access application forms, with possession of a valid National Identification Number (NIN) as a key requirement for enrolment.
The Director General also noted that, with continued support from Governor Yusuf, KASPA will soon roll out additional programmes aimed at reducing poverty, enhancing livelihoods, and improving the economic wellbeing of poor and vulnerable households across Kano State.
She urged non-governmental organisations, development partners, and well-meaning individuals to collaborate with the agency in supporting vulnerable groups, especially as the Ramadan period approaches.
