In line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s @officialABAT charge for transparency, accountability and efficient use of public and partner resources, the Expanded Ministerial Oversight Committee for the Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII) met today to review collective progress in strengthening Nigeria’s health system.
Together with my colleague, Hon. Minister of State @SalakoIziaq, the Perm Sec @Fmohnigeria, agency heads, State Health Commrs, our partners and civil society, we reflected on the gains made under the NHSRII’s four pillars of governance, efficiency, value-chain optimization and health security.
Since its launch in 2023, the Initiative implemented through a Sector-Wide Approach @SWApGov has aligned federal, state and partner investments around one goal: better health for Nigerians. The BHCPF remains its backbone, supporting essential services through @nhia_nigeria, @NphcdaNG, NEMTC and @NCDCgov, alongside programmes like HOPE PHC, MAMII and IMPACT.
The results are encouraging. In the first two quarters of 2025, over 80m visits were recorded at primary health facilities, four times more than in 2023. More than 21 million Nigerians are covered under health insurance, over 11,000 pregnant women have received emergency care, 15,000 benefitted from obstetric treatment, and more than 500,000 are enrolled in covered maternal care. Facility data show a 12 percent drop in maternal mortality.
Preventive health outcomes have also improved. The integrated measles, rubella, polio and neglected tropical disease campaign targeting 106 million children has exceeded expectations in the northern states with 92% coverage for measles and rubella and strong results for polio and NTD interventions. These gains reflect the determination of governments, partners and frontline health workers to extend essential services to every community.
We launched the BHCPF Guideline 2.0, which institutionalizes performance-based financing and accountability and will guide the disbursement of ₦32.9bn to states and facilities before the end of October. Supported facilities will expand from 8,800 to 13,000, with a pathway to 17,000 through the HOPE Programme. Facility allocations have increased from ₦300,750 to between ₦600,000 and ₦800,000 per quarter.
Evidence confirms that BHCPF-supported facilities outperform others across all major service indicators including immunization, skilled birth attendance and service utilization.
To further safeguard accountability, a JTF with @icpcnigeria has been activated to monitor fund utilization at both facility and community levels, ensuring that public resources directly translate to improved services for Nigerians.
Data accuracy and integrity remain central to reform. Instances of overreporting of maternal and child deaths are being addressed through improved verification systems, digital reporting and integration of NINs into health records, enabling the tracking of individual beneficiaries and ensuring that progress remains verifiable and equitable.
The NEMSAS continues to grow with over 11,000 emergency patients served in the last quarter, disbursing ₦470m for care and operating in 150 LGAs. Nigerians can dial 112 in 30 states, with nationwide coverage expected by December 2025.
To validate the steady improvements being observed, a Mini-Demographic and Health Survey (Mini-DHS) will be conducted in 2026 to provide independent national data on maternal and child health outcomes and inform future planning. Civil society and the media remain vital partners in sustaining transparency and ensuring that community voices continue to shape implementation.
Equally, we have issued a Red Letter calling on every Nigerian to protect the health of our nation.
Under the visionary leadership of President Tinubu, Nigeria’s health sector is redefining accountable governance, anchored on results, driven by integrity and inclusion, and turning reforms into real improvements in people’s lives.
