Manufacturers and other private sector health entities to facilitate local production Manufacturers and other private sector health entities to facilitate local production, as well as assembly of medical equipment, essential medicines, and consumables in the country.

She noted that the present administration is pursuing a comprehensive and integrated health service delivery, scaling up the service-ready facilities across all levels of care to two primary healthcare facilities in each ward, and one standard and fully equipped secondary health facility in each senatorial district, and one standard and fully equipped tertiary health facility in each state with regional quaternary care hubs/geo-political zone.

“Investing in cost-effective health-promotion policies and interventions, which have extremely high cost-benefit ratios and offer clear political benefits, can accelerate Nigeria’s delayed demographic transition. Universal health coverage, with its attendant scale-up of high-impact public health interventions, will put Nigeria back on track to reap a dividend from its favourable population age structure,” Anas-Kolo said.

Anas-Kolo noted that the administration intends to improve the remuneration and welfare benefits of the health workforce towards ensuring workplace motivation, as well as a commitment to delivering quality health services to Nigerians. Anas-Kolo stated that the government wants to accelerate the reduction of maternal deaths at the national and sub-national levels, stressing that Abia State is one of the states that constitute the highest burden of maternal deaths in the Southeast, while Sokoto contributes the highest burden in the Northwest, and Ondo has the worst indices in the Southwest.

Sahara Power Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Pan-Atlantic University to drive enhanced human capital in the power sector through transformative engineering education, fostering collaboration across industries.
