The Nutrition 774 Initiative Strategy Board has adopted a domestic financing model as the sustainable foundation for nutrition investment in Nigeria.
This is just as Chairman of the Board, Vice President @KashimSM, has charged the remaining twenty-seven states that have not inaugurated their State Councils on Nutrition to close the gap by doing so.
The board also mandated the Federal Ministry of Finance (@FinMinNigeria), and other critical partners to embark on a robust stakeholder engagement programme in order to activate existing financing instruments, including the Presidential Nutrition Intervention Fund (PNIF) and the Sugar-Sweetened Beverage (SSB) levy ring-fence, as funding streams for nutrition and related interventions in Nigeria.
These were among the decisions taken on Wednesday during the 2nd High-Level Strategic Board Meeting of the Nutrition 774 Initiative, chaired by the Vice President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
On the milestones achieved in the operationalisation of the initiative, the board noted the importance of the Nutrition 774 Initiative as the primary governance vehicle for delivering nutrition outcomes at scale across all 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Nigeria.

.......Reversing the Narrative: The Enugu State International Hospital as Africa’s Emerging Healthcare Hub
The Enugu State Government is set to transform the landscape of African medicine with the completion of the 300-bed Enugu State International Hospital. Currently standing at 95% readiness to commence operations, this ultra-modern quaternary facility is a cornerstone of Governor Peter Mbah’s economic and health blueprint, purposefully designed to capture a significant share of the sub-Saharan medical tourism market and drive outbound travel down to zero.
A major pillar of this pioneering institution is the introduction of robotic-assisted surgery and advanced oncology diagnostics (including PET and CT scans), positioning Enugu at the absolute frontier of precision medicine.
The state is systematically turning the brain drain into a "brain gain" by partnering with the global diaspora, drawing Enugu’s top-tier medical pioneers and specialized manpower back home to lead clinical operations and drive local capacity building.
Far from exclusive, the hospital is built on a model of sustainable scale, balancing world-class intervention with structured affordability to ensure premium, life-saving care remains accessible to Nigerians.

Hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abuja will not be as difficult as many may assume. Recently, Nigeria officially submitted a $500 million bid to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix in the nation’s capital. The proposal, led by Opus Racing Promotions in partnership with the National Sports Commission, seeks to bring Formula 1 back to the African continent for the first time since 1993.
BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA on this one. Intelligently delivered punches.
"Are we a nation or a country. It is possible that those that created us by way of colonization and independence created us in their own image. Because if you look at them they are a country of different nations and I think that is what we are. In less former surroundings, they go to the world cup as different nations and to the Olympics as one country and play politics in different ways under different names and that's a good thing and a very good thing and that's a way of sharing prosperity. I think we are a country with many diverse nations"
When we were on Clubhouse and we were talking about YORUBA self-determination. A lot of people call it "Secession" no, we are talking about a structure that allows us to be the one determining who has access to our resources, the ability to control our resources, our security, our land, our finances (Fiscal control), drug control law and enforcement etc. And in the process we always use the UK, EU and Canada as an example.
The bunch of animals that only understand cancel culture started calling us Terrorists and secessionists. I wonder how asking for a better system of government means Terrorism or secessionism.
Now that Fashola is saying the same thing in a different way, I hope you will also call him a terrorist or secessionist. Because he has just also said we are a country with different divers nations and amongst those nations are the YORUBA nations, Berom nations, TIV nation, Efik Nation, Ijaw Nation, Ikwere Nation, Ibo/Igbo nation, Hausa Nation, Ogoni nations....
That's only if people like @EmoTruths will use their phone to Google the difference between a nation and a country the way Fashola's friends Googled it and stop acting emotional.
