11 Private Health Facilities Shut Down in Suleja for Operating Without Registration

The Niger State Private Health Facilities Agency (NISPHFA) has shut down 11 private health facilities in Suleja, Niger State, for operating without registration and licensing in a major crackdown on illegal healthcare operations. The agency, which is charged with overseeing the registration and monitoring of private health establishments in Niger State, described the closures as part of its ongoing campaign to end quackery and protect citizens from substandard healthcare services. The closed facilities were identified as operating illegally in various locations across Suleja Local Government Area, offering medical services to the public without meeting the required regulatory standards or obtaining proper registration from the agency. The shutdown comes under the agency's "crackdown on illegal health facilities" initiative, which has been tagged with the campaign hashtag #EndQuackery as part of the broader "New Niger Health Agenda" and healthcare reform efforts in […]

Minna residents suffer as water crisis deepens

Residents of Minna, the Niger State capital, are facing a worsening water crisis despite the allocation of billions of naira to improve water supply over the years. Many homes have little or no access to pipe-borne water and now depend on vendors, boreholes, and distant water sources for their daily needs. Women and children trek long distances and queue for hours at boreholes and public taps, often starting before dawn to secure enough water for the day. The scarcity has disrupted schooling, as some children, especially girls, miss classes or arrive late because they spend mornings fetching water or waiting for vendors.​ Health risks are rising as desperate residents sometimes resort to unsafe water from streams, ponds, or other untreated sources, raising fears of outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Households also struggle financially as the cost of water from vendors has […]
