Day 2 of #JAR and BIG NEWS! 🚨
In a powerful move, Coordinating Minister @muhammadpate just announced that Cesarean Sections for all Nigerian women who need them will now be FREE!
He emphasized, “No woman should lose her life simply because she can’t afford a C-section.”
This came as Prof. Pate launched the Maternal Mortality Reduction Initiative (MAMII), a groundbreaking effort by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare aimed at tackling Nigeria’s critical maternal and neonatal mortality rates—among the highest globally. Through #MAMII, access to affordable, quality healthcare for mothers and newborns will be prioritized, focusing on primary health services and community involvement. 💪👶
Major commitments came from key partners:
HRH Dr. Haliru Yahaya, Emir of Shonga – “Traditional institutions and communities are at the heart of health reforms. We’re fully in!”
Oyebanji Filani @okeanaye , Chairman , Nigeria Health Commissioners Forum– “MAMII is a marathon, not a sprint! Health commissioners are ALL IN for implementation.”
Hon. Engr. Bello Lawal, ALGON President – “We’re aligning with the Federal Government to ensure grassroots support. Full steam ahead!”
@WHONigeria Country Rep @WMulombo – “If implemented right, this initiative will deliver. We’re here to support every step of the way!”
@WorldBankAfrica Trina Haque, Practice Manager– “MAMII is a game-changer! We’re committed to funding and expertise. Let’s close the gaps!”
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation – “Exciting progress! We’re dedicated to making maternal and child health a priority.”
Together, we’re building a future where every Nigerian mother and child can thrive. Join us in spreading the word! 🌍❤️ #MAMII #HealthcareForAll #Nigeria #JAR

Nobody knows the power of your light more than the people who spend all their time & expend all their energies trying desperately to dim it.
Focus on shining brighter.

I'm taking SS1 probability this morning
They are 27 in number. I'll be entering their class with 27 envelopes, 5 containing 1k each and the rest containing paper, they'll randomly pick one each and we'll start the class from there.
