The Kaduna State Government in February 2021 signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a U.S.-based medical product delivery company, Zipline, in its efforts to address the challenges with logistics and the delivery of medical supplies to difficult-to-reach communities in the state.
Zipline is an American company that designs, manufactures and operates delivery drones. The company operates distribution centres in Rwanda, Ghana, Japan, the United States, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire and Kenya.
As of September 2023, its drones have made more than 750,000 commercial deliveries and flown more than 40 million autonomous miles, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
