“When I joined the agency, in terms of public relations, it was zero,” Salahu said at a valedictory brief in Abuja.

“This is a medical agency and medical people are occupied with their technocracy. Apart from one quarterly magazine, there was nothing to know about the agency.”

Salahu, who started his career as a journalist in Kwara, thanked the media for “sustaining the reputation of the agency” while he ran its public relations unit.

NPHCDA executive director Faisal Shuaib said Salahu had been a “pillar of strength”.
