Aboki said that the nation’s dependence on donor funding for planning was no longer sustainable. He, however, stated that Kaduna State under Governor Nasir el-Rufai would begin procurement of the FP commodities to compliment Federal Government’s efforts
“This assertion poses a potential threat to the state and country at large, in terms of population explosion, where birth rate is uncontrolled, high maternal mortality rate, teenage pregnancies and obstetric fistula. Thus, the state government has expressed its willingness and readiness to begin procurement of the FP commodities to compliment national efforts.”
Continuing, the commissioner said the yearly funding gap analysis from 2016 to 2022 has shown variance between funding requirement and funding commitment leading to a huge funding gap. In 2016, the funding requirement was $19.6m and the funding commitment was $7m, which created a funding gap of $12.6m. The year 2022 has the highest funding requirement of $35.6m and the highest financial gap of $29.7m. The total funding requirement from 2016 to 2022 is $171.9m and total financial gap is $ 203.
