In Aug 2025, N1.1bn was paid to DASIR INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES LTD for the Construction/Fabrication of Solar Streetlight in Rural Communities of Ikot Ntuk, Ukwok, Odoro Ikpe, Ikot Inyang and Itu Edino LGAs in Akwa Ibom state.

We tracked this project at Odoro Ikpe, Ini LGA and report that this project has not been done.
In fact, at the time of our visit, residents were unaware of this provision. The community considers it a high priority for them because of the insecurity at night.

As we keep tracking this project in other beneficiary LGAs, we also implore the implementing agency @FmardNg, to provide the public with details of how funds disbursed for this project was used.

The high level meeting brought together representatives from the NPHCDA, World Bank, National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), State Ministries of Health, State Primary Health Care Boards, Project Managers, and Project Accountants to review implementation activities, assess financial and contractual commitments, and develop strategies for sustainable PHC delivery.

The Honourable Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, in his keynote address titled “Strengthening PHC: A Critical Determinant for Achieving UHC,” emphasized the need for continued investment in PHC infrastructure and modernization. He highlighted Lagos State’s introduction of purpose built PHC facilities with improved ventilation systems, solar-powered infrastructure, infection prevention and control designs, and decentralized isolation capabilities.

The Commissioner also stressed the importance of sustainable health financing through the domestication of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act, mandatory health insurance initiatives, and stronger integration between public and private healthcare systems.

Speaking on malaria elimination efforts, Lagos State presented findings from a large-scale malaria diagnostic and surveillance study, which revealed significantly lower malaria prevalence than previously assumed and emphasized the importance of evidence-based diagnosis through Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs).

Delivering the goodwill message, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Health, Lagos State, Dr. (Mrs) Kemi Ogunyemi, welcomed participants to Lagos and reaffirmed the State Government’s commitment to health sector reforms and Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

The Lagos State Primary Health Care Board on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, recorded a historic milestone with the official signing of a 10-year Financial Sustainability Plan tagged Lagos State Primary Health Care Compact 2026, a landmark agreement aimed at strengthening and sustaining primary healthcare delivery across the state.

The groundbreaking compact serves as an intergovernmental statement of commitment and collaboration between the State Government, the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs), and the 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), reinforcing a shared vision for sustainable healthcare financing and improved service delivery for all residents of Lagos State.

The historic agreement was signed during a two-day retreat on the 10-Year Plan for Primary Health Care Financing, held at Lakowe and organised by the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board (LSPHCB) in conjunction with development partners and members of Conference 57.

The retreat provided a strategic platform for robust engagement, policy dialogue, and consensus-building among key stakeholders on the future of primary healthcare financing in Lagos State.

The agreement followed extensive deliberations with critical health stakeholders, as well as the Chairmen of the Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas, who demonstrated overwhelming support, enthusiasm, and collective resolve towards the successful implementation of the initiative.

The signing ceremony reflected a rare and commendable display of unity, partnership, and political will across all tiers of government, with the Council Chairmen reaffirming their unwavering commitment to strengthening primary healthcare systems within their respective councils and communities.

Representing the State Government at the ceremony were the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, in his capacity as the principal political custodian of the Lagos State health sector; the Special Adviser to the Governor on Health, Dr. (Mrs.) Kemi Ogunyemi, as the principal advisory authority to the Governor on health matters; and the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board (LSPHCB), Dr. Ibrahim Akinwunmi Mustafa, mni, who serves as the principal technical and administrative coordinator of primary healthcare in Lagos State.

Also party to the agreement were the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas, acting through their respective Chairmen on behalf of the offices and territories they represent and serve.

The Lagos State Primary Health Care Compact 2026 is designed to provide a long-term framework for sustainable healthcare financing, stronger intergovernmental collaboration, and enhanced delivery of quality, accessible, and people-centered primary healthcare services across the state.

The initiative is firmly anchored on the THEMES+ Agenda of the Lagos State Government and aligns with the Lagos State Development Plan 2052, both of which prioritize healthcare as a critical pillar for inclusive growth, social development, and improved quality of life for residents.
