    In an interview, the acting Chairman, NAFOHEAD, Pastor Mrs Omolara Esan said the forum could not hold its annual event three years ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Pastor Mrs Esan explained that the forum was confronted by financial constraints urging agencies in the state to live up to their financial obligations to the forum.

    The event which featured a health talk enabled executives to hold their Annual General Meeting, AGM, where the activities of NAFOHEAD were reviewed.
