President Bola Tinubu has felicitated Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof Muhammad Ali Pate, on his 58th birthday on September 6, 2026.
The president, in a release issued on Sunday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, celebrated the distinguished and globally acclaimed health professional on this special occasion, lauding his invaluable contributions to Nigeria’s health and social welfare sector.
Tinubu acknowledged the significant transformation in the health sector under the Renewed Hope Agenda through Pate’s ministry, particularly the revitalisation of over 3,100 primary healthcare centres; the reorganisation of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF), enabling over 37 million Nigerians to access basic healthcare; and the upgrade of health facilities across the country.
