At 36 Political Elevation Group (36 PEG), people often ask us a simple question: out of everything that’s been done, what has really changed Kogi the most?
When you look closely, the answer isn’t just about buildings or infrastructure, it’s about lives. It’s about people getting the care they need, when they need it.
What many call the “Ododo Health Blueprint” really comes down to three key moves:
First, the upgrade of over 80 Primary Healthcare Centers.
These aren’t just quick renovations. They’ve been turned into fully functional, 24-hour centers with solar power, clean water, and better equipment. For many families in rural areas, this means healthcare is no longer hours away, it’s right within reach.
Second, the ₦300,000 incentive for doctors.
At a time when many medical professionals are leaving the country, this was a bold step. It’s helped keep doctors in the system and even attract more. Instead of losing talent, Kogi is starting to hold on to it.
Third, expanding access through health insurance.
More than 76,000 vulnerable people pensioners, students, and low-income earners—now have free healthcare coverage. That’s a big shift. It means fewer families have to worry about how to pay for treatment.
When you put it all together, the impact becomes clear. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about peace of mind. It’s about a parent knowing their child can get proper care without financial stress.
From our perspective at 36 PEG, this stands out because it tackles something fundamental: the fear of not being able to access healthcare. And when that fear is reduced, people live better, work better, and plan for the future with more confidence.
We believe this kind of approach shouldn’t stop at Kogi, it’s something worth scaling across the country.
What about you,what’s one change that has made a real difference in your community or family?
