President Bola Tinubu has stressed that his administration is strongly committed to providing excellent healthcare facilities for all Nigerians.
He also said the present government at the centre will continue to prioritize domestic and foreign direct investments in the sector. The President made the remarks at a meeting yesterday with Oramah, to finalize plans to establish a first-rate healthcare facility in Abuja. In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President said: “We welcome this significant step towards investing in Nigeria’s healthcare sector.
This facility is a great commitment to humanity. We are open and ready to assist this project in every way possible. Africa is in need, and Nigeria is committed to the needs of its people. Putting people’s welfare first is putting healthcare first. The training and development of our people are our priorities, and we thank KCH, known for its global reputation, for partnering with us. Out of every five black persons, one is a Nigerian. We are racing against time to meet our obligations to our people.
This project will further strengthen our long-term vision for the healthcare of our people. We are determined to succeed, and whatever you need for us to achieve this project, I want to assure you, we will do it.” President Tinubu emphasized that the continent cannot afford to remain behind in the quality and accessibility of its healthcare system. The President, therefore, asked Afreximbank not to relent in its commitment to investing in projects that will ensure that Africa possesses the expertise and resources to meet its own healthcare needs.
