The Management of Society for Family health, led by the Managing Director recently paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Senate President Rt. Hon. Ike Ekweremadu in his office at the National Assembly Complex Abuja, on Wednesday 12th February, 2008.

The MD, Bright Ekweremadu introduced the Management staff to the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu who was in the company of his aides. Thereafter, he gave a brief history of SFH, its activities, programme areas, achievements and present challenges.

The MD emphasised the effort of the Society in ensuring collaborations with government especially in respect of its water treatment activities, which are not funded by donor agencies. These activities, he added, are of top priority to the Society for Family Health.

In response, the Deputy Senate President commended the MD and his team for the visit. He further stressed that the way to reduce the rate of unemployment was to encourage the private sector and NGOs like the Society for Family Health.

The Deputy Senate President pledged the support of the national assembly and urged SFH to seek for support and collaboration with the state governments and the wives of governors. He further stated that the national assembly will pass legislations that will encourage the operation of genuine Non Governmental Organisations in Nigeria.
  
At the end of the visit, a vote of thanks and presentation of gifts to the Senate president was done by the General Manager, Corporate and Marketing communications, Dr. Hajo Sani.
