President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed past leaders of the country, especially the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, for neglecting the health sector between 2010 and 2015.

Buhari said this while delivering a speech at the 58th Annual Delegates Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Nigeria Medical Association in Abuja last Thursday.

The President, who was represented by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, said that when the global price of crude oil was over $100 barrel per day, the Jonathan administration failed to seize the opportunity to invest in the health sector.

Speaking at the event with the theme, ‘Quality Healthcare: An Indicator of Good Governance’, the President said that while investments in public health care must be improved, it is unlikely that it will be sufficient.

He said that paying for health care from budgets will not improve the health sector unless other concerned parties and donor agencies augment the government’s efforts.

Buhari said, “It is no longer news that we inherited a troubled health care sector and the sector has been troubled for a long time.

“As one of the manifestations of the severely low spending on infrastructure generally and in health care in particular, I think that what we have seen through the years is a scandalously low level of funding for public health care in Nigeria.

“The level of public sector investment in health care in our recent past has, in no way, reflected our earnings, the high oil earnings, especially in the period between 2010 and 2015.

“That was when we earned the highest from oil prices.”

The President further stated that the insurgency in the North-East, which started in the same period, further brought the health sector to its knees, with the attendant impact on the level of immunisation and availability of medical personnel.

In his remarks, Senate President Bukola Saraki, stressed the need for focus to be shifted to primary health care centres and not econdary and tertiary institutions.

He added that the National Health Act would be fully implemented.

Also speaking, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, said the government was working hard to curb medical tourism.

Adewole said the government was passionate about health care, noting that it was what informed the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund, otherwise known as ‘Huwe,’ and the Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement programme, which is a $90m project that allows Nigeria to build its capacity for faster detection of infectious disease outbreaks.

Let’s even agree Jonathan spoilt it what actually has he done to solve or make the health sector better. APC and the blame game.



My hard working papas and mamas and fellow lazy Nigerian yoots let’s keep hustling for our PVC and send him back to he’s cattle farm.

For complete three years you met the rot in health sector and you do not have idea how it should be cleaned.there is no single hope for you and your master,infact we are doomed for having you as our leader.

seriously, i want this man to blame me one day for nigeria's hardship

And Aso medical clinic had been allocate billions of naira for and yet there is no paracetamol for ordinary headache relieve....


This same man campaigned that he will stop foreign medical treatment for public servants, if he'd be voted for....But few months into the system, he became the first man to go against his own words.... Who doz that?? ??

When will this blame game ends na?

He's a dullard for a reason of course.
And that's why he holds the record of the most useless president in the world..

Blame, blame, and more blame.
Blame him for your cancer, your kidney failure, and your impotence. Aisha had not been satisfied since 1990, blame your weak erection on GEJ.

and d blame will go on till 2023 if they voted them. in MI voice" fix ur life all current president".

This Buhari, Osibanjo and their blame game is mad

This is why I laugh when some people say Osinbajo will make a better replacement for Buhari.

Yes, he's my tribesman but I detest that short man's words like shit and I can barely differentiate between him and Liar Muhammed when it comes to lying and blame trading.

If this is the sort of people Adeboye's RCCG parades as pastors, I think that church has more fake pastors than genuine ones. Testimonies of evil practices of some of them say it all and Osinbajo has only confirmed it.

This ineptitude failure government is still blaming GEJ after four years? Aiye mi temi bami, what has they donebfir four good years to fix the health sector since they have gotten there?

Bro, you didn't corroborate what you Oga said, don't tell us you are also tired of the blame game.... .... We won't take it from you...

This man can blame Jonathan if his wife refuses to have sex with him

"President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed past leaders of the country, especially the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, for neglecting the health sector between 2010 and 2015...

Also speaking, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, said the government was working hard to curb medical tourism."
Blame,blame,blame & blaming.APC government is cursed with foolishness,ineptitude & super-cluelessness
Stopping medical tourism When Buhari is the number one defaulted?

Sincerely this is not the Osinbajo that I voted for.

It's pertinent to note that despite having a Budget of over 3 billions naira yearly and despite complaints from his wife about the state of rot in the state house clinic I can reliably inform you all that not one improvement has come to state house clinic 3 years later under Buhari ...Do we blame Jonathn for that too?

It's like Jonathan was president from 1960 - 2015. Osinbajo is just happy to give useless speeches because he doesn't have any other job in this failed govt.

Hmmmmmmm
the host of heavens should be careful that Buhari doesn't blame them when he finally dies.

He would continue to blame until he finishes his tenure. The man has nothing to offer to Nigerians.

That is the kind of stupid people we have as zombies. Instead of him to tell the lying pastor the truth, he just cancelled and went away.


Obasanjo call them M0rons.

Buhari contested for presidency for the soul reason to fulfill his pledge about implementing TOTAL SHARIA across Nigeria. Islamization of Nigeria is the only why buhari contested for president, otherwise people like buhari with nothing upstairs HAVE BUSINESS IN LEADERSHIP in this age.

3 years after, Buhari has created a new "rot" in Aso clinic.

Who is the incompetent one going to blame for the unfortunate state of the Aso clinic?

U see the problem? Ebola has made an apparent comeback in the DRC. Instead of ramping up public awareness and sensitisation and instituting tight border controls to forestall another Sawyerr incident, that are crying over 2010-2015. Instead of them to beef up medical readiness in entry points of d country, they are indulging in their normal blame game and it's always 'Prof' Osinbajo!

Which one have they done from 2015-2018?
