One of the key highlights of President Bola Tinubu’s administration is the recent disbursement of N45 billion to Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the country through the Basic Health Care Provision Fund. This initiative directly supports over 8,000 PHCs, aiming to enhance accessibility and improve health outcomes for Nigerians.
His administration is also committed to making substantial investments in the healthcare sector, having allocated billions to improve health infrastructure, equipment, and health insurance systems. One of the more ambitious targets under his leadership is to double the number of fully functional Primary Healthcare Centres from 8,809 to 17,618 by 2027. These reforms focus not only on expanding physical infrastructure but also on enhancing human resources. Over 120,000 frontline health workers are being retrained to elevate the sector’s capacity, with more than 40,000 already having completed their retraining.
In addition to these investments in healthcare services, President Tinubu has made significant strides in improving Nigeria’s economic health. In just nine months, his administration attracted $30 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), reinforcing his commitment to fostering economic growth. These efforts have directly contributed to a stronger economy, with key sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and oil experiencing notable inflows of capital.
Under Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria is steadily moving toward a more sustainable economic and healthcare system, with the government working to reduce dependence on imported medicines and increase domestic production. These are pivotal steps toward achieving long-term healthcare security for the nation while also boosting job creation and supporting local industry growth.
The future looks bright under President Tinubu’s vision for a stronger, healthier, and more resilient Nigeria. His ongoing commitment to healthcare and significant investments in national infrastructure provide a solid foundation for lasting progress, aiming for a Nigeria that thrives in every sector.
