NUGGETS

NUGGETS President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that over N98 billion was disbursed last year to strengthen primary healthcare delivery across Nigeria, marking one of the largest single-year investments in grassroots health services in recent times. Tinubu, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, made this known at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Health Convention and Roundtable 1.0 in Abuja. The President said the funds were released through the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) to support operational expenses in more than 8,300 primary healthcare centres (PHCs) nationwide. He added that the disbursement is part of the administration’s broader push to reposition the health sector as a cornerstone of national development. Tinubu explained that the financial injection has supported the ongoing revitalisation of Primary Heth Centres, with 2,565 centres already upgraded and another 1,456 currently undergoing rehabilitation.
