JIGAWA STATE GOVERNMENT MOVES TO REVITALIZE JIPHARMA

The Jigawa State Government has initiated a bold and strategic effort to revitalize the Jigawa Pharmaceutical Company Limited (JiPHARMA) as part of its commitment to strengthening the healthcare and industrial sectors.

This decision emerged from a two day engagement focused on designing a comprehensive business plan for JiPHARMA, facilitated by Lafiya and the Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Health Care Value Chain (PVAC). The session brought together key stakeholders to outline the pathway for repositioning the company for sustainable operations.

To fast-track implementation, the Government mandated the Jigawa State Investment Promotion Agency (InvestJigawa) to actively woo credible investors for the immediate commencement of manufacturing essential drugs and medical consumables in the state.

This renewed push is aimed at improving access to affordable, high-quality pharmaceuticals, enhancing local production capacity, and creating employment opportunities for Jigawa citizens. InvestJigawa is already engaging relevant partners and coordinating the investment facilitation processes required to ensure swift operational take-off.

The revitalization of JiPHARMA represents another significant step by the present administration toward achieving a more sustainable, self-reliant, and resilient healthcare ecosystem in Jigawa State.
