Fellow Nigerians and friends from around the world, good day to you all. Trust deficits between the governed and those who govern have long shaped our national story. Overcoming this requires public administrators across all tiers and branches of government Government of Nigeria to embrace accountability and transparency in managing the commonwealth of our people. In line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu Renewed Hope Agenda, we have begun the deliberate and necessary work of institutionalizing this approach in the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA and in the agencies under our oversight. I am pleased to inform Nigerians that our ministry and its parastatals have entered into a multi-year pact with the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission ICPC to monitor, track, and audit expenditures involved in the nationwide overhaul of health infrastructure across all local government areas of the federation. In the medical profession, prevention is better than cure. This principle applies equally to our new approach to addressing official corruption and financial misconduct in the health sector. The primary objective of this pact with the ICPC is to institute preventive and corrective anti-corruption mechanisms, with particular emphasis on close surveillance of health parastatals and funding pathways under the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund Basic Health Care Provision Fund, which serves as a federal conduit to subnational entities responsible for the judicious use of resources. As part of this partnership, state and local governments will be integrated into strengthened accountability processes to ensure standardized anti-corruption measures nationwide. More specifically, the ICPC is mandated to report on the status of projects identified by the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency NPHCDA as a prerequisite for final certification of project completion. In real time, the ICPC will provide stage-by-stage monitoring of primary healthcare revitalization projects across all implementing states and local government areas to ensure value for money. Additionally, our pact with the ICPC introduces a new certification process for anti-corruption training and capacity-building initiatives to support health sector staff in preventing and addressing corrupt practices within their mandates. While these historic steps offer a sustainable template for fiscal prudence in the sector, we are simultaneously advancing a multi-dimensional strategy to confront the threat corruption poses to the health of every Nigerian. We recognize the critical role of our youth in driving reforms at the community level. This recognition led to the recruitment and deployment of hundreds of Performance and Financial Management Officers (#PFMOs) across all local government areas to continuously assess primary health centre rehabilitation and operational performance. This initiative complements President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commissioning of the National Health Fellows—774 young leaders from every local government area—selected through a rigorous process and prepared to sustain the new anti-corruption procedures aligned with their technical and administrative responsibilities. This fight against long-standing development inhibitors in the health sector is essential not only for improving the lives of Nigerians but also for enhancing donor confidence, with direct implications for non-governmental and multilateral financial support for key health interventions for our nation. This is our time to reclaim the nation we love, to reject what has held us back, and to affirm a new social contract grounded in integrity, renewed trust, and renewed hope. Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Under the innovative leadership of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria has advanced 22 new large-scale health sector manufacturing projects funded by $5.5 billion in private sector capital, but as these new investments come into our country, our focus on cultivating a world-class pharmaceutical manufacturing workforce in-country has sharpened. Against the backdrop of Nigeria recently securing €1 billion from the European Investment Bank (European Investment Bank) and an additional $1 billion from AFREXIMBANK African Export-Import Bank - Afreximbank to incentivize health sector value chain localization, we have signed an agreement with the Empower School of Health Empower, Geneva, that will see to the establishment of Africa's foremost pharmaceutical manufacturing training institute, Empower Academy Nigeria. Functioned to accommodate knowledge transfer in support of the local production of pharmaceutical excipients, active pharmaceutical ingredients (#APIs), and advanced dosage forms such as inhalers, extended-release medications, and dermatological patches, Empower Academy Nigeria will advance best practice in process engineering, regulatory compliance, quality control, environmental monitoring, and other important fields. With a mandate and capacity to train and upskill up to 2,000 Nigerian professionals annually, supported by cutting-edge equipment and world-class facilities, Empower Academy Nigeria, Empower Group, will offer certification courses in partnership with Africa CDC Africa CDC, the World Health Organization (World Health Organization (WHO)), UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), and the International Federation of Pharmacists, FIP, amongst others.

As His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu marks the midpoint of his first term in office, I am honoured to announce the most ambitious investment in cancer care ever undertaken by a Nigerian administration: the establishment of West Africa’s Ecowas - Cedeao largest network of oncology and diagnostic centres. This milestone initiative will train up to 500 clinicians over the next three years and is projected to serve approximately 2,000 oncology patients and 350,000 diagnostic clients annually. In the coming days, three newly built cancer centers — there would be a total of six — at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina; the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Nsukka University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH); and the University of Benin Teaching Hospital University of Benin Teaching Hospital will be formally commissioned by Mr. President and opened for public access—ushering in a new era of specialised care across the country. To ensure seamless and sustained operations, key institutional personnel are currently undergoing advanced clinical and technical training in South Africa. Simultaneously, the National Health Insurance Authority NHIA NIGERIA, has launched a targeted cost-sharing programme to expand access to cancer treatment. Under this initiative, eligible disadvantaged patients undergoing radiotherapy may receive subsidies of up to N400,000—significantly easing the financial burden on families and improving treatment adherence. Guided by the compassionate and reform-driven leadership of President Tinubu, and in full alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda #RenewedHope, we are dismantling longstanding barriers—both on the supply and demand sides—to ensure that quality, affordable cancer care becomes a national standard, not an exception. I now invite you to explore these transformative facilities and engage with this special briefing on what they mean for the present and future of cancer care in Nigeria.

Fellow Nigerians and friends from around the world, good day to you all. For decades, dedicated professionals in Nigeria’s health sector have risen early and returned home late, serving their fellow citizens with commitment and resilience, often in difficult conditions and with limited recognition. Under the compassionate leadership of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we acknowledge that successive governments did not always provide the enabling environment for our best talents to thrive. Longstanding commitments were poorly implemented, leading to dissatisfaction among health workers, particularly members of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), and the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives. This reality informed our deliberate approach over the past two and a half years, during which we proactively cultivated industrial harmony through constructive engagement with stakeholders, addressing both legacy and current challenges directly. Despite recent disruptions by a small segment of health workers, notably resident doctors, the overwhelming majority of Nigeria’s capable health workforce have continued to report for duty, serving our people with dedication, care, and innovation. While not all legacy challenges have been conclusively resolved, unprecedented progress has been achieved under President Tinubu’s leadership. Through transparent negotiations, the retirement age for clinically skilled health workers has been increased from 60 to 65 years. Outstanding arrears from 2023 to date have been paid, while the new hazard allowance is being processed. Over ₦10 billion owed under the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund has been fully paid. Salary relativity adjustments under CONHESS for health workers and CONMESS for doctors are being assured and institutionalized by the federal government. All other major and longstanding demands of the three main health sector union blocs are being addressed through Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations, statutorily convened by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. This process, involving union leadership and relevant government officials, is well underway, and we remain committed to concluding it to the satisfaction of health workers and the citizens they serve. Despite minor industrial distractions by a very small minority, with over 90% of demands already met, Nigerians continue to express confidence in the health workforce, and the data confirms this. In the second quarter of 2024, Nigeria recorded an average of 10 million hospital visits across all levels of care. By the second quarter of 2025, this rose to nearly 40 million visits in a single quarter, representing almost a fourfold increase. The Central Bank of Nigeria has reported a 52% reduction in foreign exchange accessed for external medical tourism since President Tinubu assumed office in 2023. At the same time, facilities nationwide are witnessing increased patronage by foreigners choosing to receive care in Nigeria. Medical tourism is steadily being reversed, while citizen perception surveys from 2023 to 2025 show rising confidence in the health system. Overall system confidence stands at 55%, confidence in the government’s ability to manage health emergencies at 67%, and patient satisfaction at 74%. As we continue building systems that serve all Nigerians regardless of status or income, we are healing a once-fractured ecosystem and restoring public trust. The progress of our health sector reflects what is possible for Nigeria: turning crisis into opportunity, transforming liabilities into assets, and placing every Nigerian at the center of our national renewal. Thank you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In furtherance of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Renewed Hope Agenda, and in line with our national commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage (#UHC), I am pleased to provide an update on Nigeria’s progress in expanding access to quality and affordable health insurance. Out-of-pocket payments remain the dominant source of health care expenditure for most of our people, translating into higher costs and lower standards of accountability for providers. When the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA signed the Renewed Hope Ministerial Performance Monitoring Bond with its detailed key performance indicators, we set ambitious 2030 targets that are now within reach, one of which is national health insurance coverage. Under the leadership of Mr President, all macroeconomic reform and cross-sectoral policy direction are driven by one objective: ensuring that every Nigerian can actualize their aspirations while accessing affordable, quality care. This people-centred approach defines the comprehensive reforms now reshaping our health sector. As we modernize infrastructure across primary, secondary, and tertiary facilities in all local government areas, our record-breaking progress in national health insurance enrollment is aligning demand with Nigeria’s rapidly expanding supply of human resources and infrastructure. Nearly 120,000 health workers have been trained since 2023, and 2,500 doctors, nurses, midwives, and community health extension workers have been recruited to strengthen frontline services. Over the past 16 months, 4,000 health personnel have also been added in Federal Tertiary Hospitals to close workforce gaps. In 2024, Nigeria broke its enrollment record with more than 2.4m new people insured, bringing total coverage to about 20m Nigerians. With new policy tools in motion, we are on course to reach 44m by 2030. This is the surest path to reducing out-of-pocket expenditure, which still represents about 70% of total health spending. Social health insurance schemes now account for 90% of all enrollments nationwide. A major constraint in care quality has been the low capitation fee for enrollees. For years, the capitation stood at ₦750 per person. We have doubled it to ₦1,450 to ensure providers are properly equipped to deliver consistent, high-quality care. Fee-for-service rates have also been increased by 380%, based on actuarial evidence aligning cost-reflective rates with quality requirements. The Federal Government Government of Nigeria has also introduced the One Hour Referral Authorization Code, issued by the insuring entity to the provider to confirm referral approval. By shortening this process to 1 hour, we are eliminating unnecessary delays and ensuring that patients move quickly from primary to specialist care. To strengthen accountability, I have directed the National Health Insurance Authority NHIA NIGERIA to commence covert mystery shopping to monitor providers and ensure that enrollees are not denied treatment. Undercover monitors are already observing processes in facilities nationwide to ensure that insured Nigerians receive timely and dignified care. The evidence is clear. From fewer than 10m hospital visits in all of 2023, more than 46m visits were recorded by the second quarter of 2025. Reforms in the Basic Health Care Provision Fund Basic Health Care Provision Fund and the NHIA are delivering measurable gains in patient confidence and service utilization. As enrollment expands, benefits multiply. Wider adoption of health insurance enhances quality, strengthens accountability, and protects households from financial hardship. These achievements reflect President Tinubu’s vision of a health system that serves all Nigerians, regardless of income or status. We will continue to modernize infrastructure, strengthen the workforce, and sustain reforms until every Nigerian is covered and cared for. Thank you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Following the assent of a landmark Executive Order by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in June 2024—which provided tax and tariff waivers on the importation of raw materials for pharmaceutical production—and with the President’s thoughtful guidance and the Federal Executive Council’s final approval, the Federal Republic of Nigeria has launched MediPool, an unprecedented and historic intervention in the nation’s pharmaceutical landscape. MediPool is a key deliverable under the Renewed Hope Health Agenda—a flagship component of President Tinubu’s broader commitment to build a fairer, equitable, more resilient and self-reliant health system for all Nigerians. It reflects the administration’s resolve to move beyond emergency stopgaps and institutionalize structural solutions that deliver real and lasting impact. This bold policy innovation, designed as a public-private partnership, leverages the federal government’s purchasing power to secure better prices from domestic manufacturers and suppliers. MediPool’s wide-ranging mandate includes procurement planning, supply chain and logistics management, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, financial oversight, and structured support for local pharmaceutical production. I am pleased to share this overview of a transformative national initiative. With the approval of MediPool, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again demonstrated clear, courageous leadership in confronting the longstanding challenges of affordability and access—bringing hope to millions of Nigerians who have too often borne the dual burden of illness and the high cost of care.

Fellow Nigerians and friends around the world, good day. Under the leadership of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s population of over 240m continues to demonstrate a growing commitment to accessing quality health services and preventive tools that protect lives, reduce avoidable illness, and sustain productivity nationwide. This progress is evidenced by measurable outcomes. In Q2 2024, health facilities nationwide recorded approx. 10m hospital visits. By Q2 2025, visits exceeded 45m, representing a more than fourfold increase and reflecting increased use of essential and life saving services, particularly immunization. Once constrained by misinformation, distrust, and limited access, Nigeria’s youthful population is now achieving historic immunization coverage. Under this administration, over 25m measles doses and 22m yellow fever vaccinations have been administered, alongside Africa’s first Mpox vaccine rollout. In addition, five million children have received the pentavalent vaccine, over 10m the tetanus diphtheria vaccine through the nationwide diphtheria response, and more than 1m vaccines from the Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance funded global stockpile have supported meningitis outbreak control in northern regions. Nigeria Government of Nigeria has taken a historic step in malaria control with the introduction of its first ever malaria vaccine. As the country bearing the world’s highest malaria burden, accounting for approx. 39.3 percent of malaria related deaths among children under five, deployment of the R21 Matrix M vaccine marks a major public health milestone. With over 97 percent of Nigerians at risk, the vaccine complements existing interventions such as insecticide treated nets and seasonal malaria chemoprevention. Rollout commenced in Bayelsa and Kebbi states, with Kebbi alone targeting 179,542 children aged five to fifteen months. Nigeria received 1m doses in total, including 846,200 from Gavi and 153,800 financed by the FG, with plans for further scale up. Nigeria is no longer defined solely by disease burden but increasingly by leadership in domestic resource mobilization and global disease control efforts. In 2025, the FG committed 54m dollars in domestic resources to the global fight against TB Stop TB Partnership and emerged as the largest African contributor to The Global Fund, as announced at the most recent G20 meeting in Johannesburg. These gains are substantive. Sustained increases in health sector financing Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA across all levels of govt., covering primary infrastructure, workforce development, and vaccination campaigns, have reinforced global confidence in Nigeria as a provider of solutions. A further illustration is the drive to eliminate cervical cancer. Approx. 12,000 Nigerian women are diagnosed annually, yet the disease is preventable through early HPV vaccination. Since the Oct. 2023 launch across 15 states and the FCT, over 14m eligible girls aged 9 to 14 years have been vaccinated, representing more than 90 percent coverage. These achievements reflect deliberate sectoral reform and strengthened coordination through the Sector Wide Approach SWAp Coordination Office, aligning all tiers of govt. with development partners and NGOs. Recently, formal approval was granted for an additional 68bn naira for vaccine financing and related requirements, with funds lodged at the NPHCDA and scheduled for release. The Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extends beyond economic reform and infrastructure investment. It is anchored in the development of the Nigerian person and the capacity of every citizen to live a healthy, productive, and dignified life. This administration remains committed to ensuring that preventable illness and avoidable death no longer constrain the full potential of the men and women who advance our nation. Thank you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Under the steady-handed leadership of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our public health system is being strengthened, repositioned, and equipped for a 21st century that is certain to continue ushering in various levels of globalized health threats and emergencies, which our nation, at all levels of government, will be prepared for with the actions we are presently taking. Disease surveillance and response would be entirely untenable without institutional cohesion between federal and subnational entities in the sector, and this is why the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control NCDC operates effectively within the Sector-Wide Approach (#SWAp) framework of the Federal Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA. The NCDC has operationalized the Nigeria Preparedness and Readiness Alert System (#NPRAS)—a predictive risk-based platform for decision-making, while conducting structured risk assessments in 8 vulnerable states to inform subnational hazard profiles and achieve comprehensive donor alignment. Aside from the provision of new disease surveillance and response infrastructure, over 325 Infection Prevention and Control (#IPC) focal persons from 95 tertiary hospitals and 214 secondary facilities nationwide are currently undergoing structured training to become certified IPC professionals, which serves as a major boost to Nigeria’s health security workforce.
