Designed to be financed from at least one per cent of the Federal Government’s Consolidated Revenue Fund (#CRF) and other sources, including donors’ contributions, the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (#BHCPF) provides a Basic Minimum Package of Health Services (#BMPHS) aimed at increasing the fiscal space for health, strengthening our national health systems.
I am pleased to inform you that from 2023 to date, nearly N50 billion has been disbursed directly to Primary Health Centers @NphcdaNG across the country, through the Fund, with verifiably impressive results, and this has led to the qualitative modernization of health infrastructure across all local government areas of Nigeria.
Under the compassionate and focused leadership of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, @officialABAT, we are on course to break the record we set in 2024 for annual health insurance enrollment at 2.4 million citizens later this year.
This comes at a time when President Tinubu’s administration has disbursed over N20 billion to support the rehabilitation and upgrade of 4,362 Primary Health Centres (PHCs) across the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the BHCPF over the past two years with similarly indelible impact across the southern states.
With over 37 million visits to primary health centers across all local government areas of Nigeria recorded over the first quarter of 2025 alone, we are overseeing a data-driven re-engineering of basic healthcare provision for Africa's largest population.
It is my pleasure to share further insight into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Sub-National Health Support Plan in this comprehensive briefing from my desk.

Green Eagles – the Nigerian national football team that played in the 1988 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
After that tournament, it was renamed Super Eagles.
Who renamed the team? Mention his/her full name.
Banditry: “The Nigerian Police Force wants to do more and has some dedicated officers, but is constrained by deep structural and institutional challenges”
How valid is this proposition?
