The Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Mr. Alex A. Okoh, has said the bureau will ensure the smooth conclusion of the health sector reform in the country.

Okoh made the pledge when the Rotary Club of Ibadan Onireke Neighbourhood honoured him with an award of Excellence for his contributions to the reform and privatisation programme of the federal government and diligent services to the nation, a statement by BPE said on Monday. 

The DG said the BPE had been working on a comprehensive health sector reform programme for the last two years and that when completed it would bequeath a better and more efficient health sector in Nigeria that would curb maternal mortality, medical tourism and other challenges in the health sector.

The director-general applauded the Rotary Club for the award and thanked it for its consistency in offering humanitarian services in Nigeria, adding that the bureau was pleased with its activities.

Earlier, while presenting the award, the Charter President of Rotary Club, Abuja, Adedotun Amori, said the club was pleased with the DG of BPE for his reform initiatives aimed at ensuring a better Nigeria for its citizens and humanity at large.
