Former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mrs. Sarah Alade, has advocated more of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) as one of the sure ways out of socio-political and economic quagmires.
Alade, who is also the chairman of a non-political group, Offa Metropolitan Club (OMC), said in Offa, her country home, yesterday, that the association would put an end to frequent medical trips abroad, through state-of-the-art facilities in the town.
Guardian newspaper reports that already, OMC has signed a memorandum of understanding with a private organisation, Clina-Lancet Laboratories Limited, under a PPP arrangement on operational mode of a medical laboratory it donated for the use of Offa people and neighbouring towns and villages.
She described the health sector as germane to the needs of an egalitarian society. She noted that government could not exclusively meet all health requirements and urged more Nigerians to replicate OMC’s gesture in their communities.
