President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Friday, commissioned new and upgraded health infrastructure across all six geopolitical zones of the country, marking the largest single-day commissioning of federal health investments in Nigeria’s history.
At the commissioning, which took place virtually, President Tinubu said the day’s health investments represent the most ambitious renewal of the country’s healthcare infrastructure in a generation.
Bayo Onanuga, Presidential Spokesman in a statement, states that the President assured that his administration is determined to give Nigerians the kind of care that, for too long, only those who could travel abroad enjoyed.
“From the rivers of the Delta to the streets of Lagos, from rural Sokoto to tertiary Maiduguri, our emergency response system must work as one. Today, we put another major piece of that system in place,” he said.
The President also commended Mohammed Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, the management of NEMSAS, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, the World Bank, the Gates Foundation, eHealth Africa, the state governors and the federal teaching hospitals that delivered the projects.
