US Nigeria sign 2.1bn health deal

The United States and Nigeria have signed a landmark agreement worth about 2.1 billion dollars to strengthen health security, expand primary healthcare, and support long term self reliance in Nigeria’s health system.

Gates Foundation Urges Nigeria to Boost Funding for Non-Communicable Diseases

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has called on the Nigerian government to significantly increase funding for health programmes targeting non-communicable diseases (NCDs), warning that the country faces a growing crisis. Speaking at a Roundtable Forum in Abuja, the Foundation’s Country Director, Uche Amaonwu, stressed the need to integrate NCD care into primary healthcare and strengthen health financing policies. “In Nigeria, we’ve seen a rising burden of non-communicable diseases. This is why the roundtable is charting a new path,” Amaonwu said. He explained that the Foundation is working with life sciences partners to co-invest in health systems, shifting from isolated projects to coordinated support. He added that health access must be seen as a foundation for prosperity. “Families sell assets, cut back on education, and sacrifice opportunities just to pay medical bills. That cycle must be broken,” he said. The […]

FG Pushes Nutrition Budget Tagging for Transparency

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to improving Nigeria’s health system by institutionalising nutrition budget tagging at both national and state levels. Speaking in Abuja at the opening of a four-day Training of Trainers workshop on Nutrition Budget Tagging, Acting Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, Dr. Sampson Ebimaro, said the initiative is aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency in resource allocation for nutrition programmes. The workshop is themed “Towards a National Picture: Advancing Nutrition Financing through Budget Tagging.” Dr. Ebimaro, representing Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, noted that although nutrition is widely recognised as vital for health and socio-economic development, implementation remains weak.

FG Moves to Strengthen Health Financing, Cut Foreign Aid Reliance

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its plan to boost health financing by mobilising more domestic resources and reducing dependence on foreign aid. The goal is to make quality healthcare accessible to all Nigerians without pushing families into financial hardship. Speaking at the National Health Financing Policy Dialogue in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Adekunle Salako, said Nigeria aims to enroll at least 44 million citizens in the National Health Insurance Scheme by 2030. This move, he explained, will reduce out-of-pocket health expenses, which currently stand at about 70 percent — one of the highest rates globally. The dialogue, themed “Reimagining a New Era of Health Financing,” was organised by the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) to chart sustainable funding strategies for universal health coverage (UHC). Salako noted that President Bola Tinubu has prioritised health reforms […]
