“‘Sustained growth is required, particularly in the poorest regions, to catch up with decent living standards and to live a life of dignity, opportunity, and hope.’ –Oscar Auliq-Ice

On Tuesday, I visited the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, H.E. Adejoke Orelope Adefulire, my brilliant and strong sister.

We discussed how our health agenda at Medicaid group of organizations can align better with the SDGs.

I am thankful for her warm reception and look forward to fruitful outcomes.”
