Adeyemi disclosed this during a courtesy visit of Kogi West Local Government Area legislative council leaders at his Maitama residence in Abuja, yesterday.

The lawmaker said the scheme is targeted at not less than 1,000 pregnant women across the senatorial district, which will cover their medical bills; from the period of ante-natal care to delivery.

He applauded the achievements of Governor Yahaya Bello in the health sector, adding  that his (Adeyemi) scheme is to support the governor’s noble intention in the state’s health sector.
