*President Bola Ahmed Tinubu breaks record appoints a 36yrs old, the* *youngest minister in the fourth republic of Nigeria, Dr Betta Edu,* *Medical Doctor per excellence and a humanitarian Icon*

In what looks like a miracle for the Nigerian youths, who have so far been shut out of the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has dified all odds to nominate the youngest minister in the history of Nigerian politics in the four republic of this country.
Dr Betta Edu a Harvard certified, 36yr old Medical Doctor and public health specialist. With great passion for humanity

Dr. Betta Edu is result-oriented health policy and management expert with over twelve-years’ professional experience building and leading teams in visioning, developing, and implementing life-saving health policies and programmes at national and state levels. She has a medical degree from University of Calabar, Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health for Developing Countries from London School Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK, Master of Science Public Health in Developing Countries from London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK, and Doctor of Public Health from Texila American University (AC).

She is a fellow of the African Institute of Public Health Professionals, Fellow of the Royal society of Public Health, United Kingdom and regularly updated her professional and leadership skills through numerous executive programmes from renown institutions including University of London UK, Harvard University, University of Washington, and University Virginia in the United States of America.

Dr Betta Edu is a seasoned administrator and a gender expert who in the last one year have had a dynamic result-oriented leadership career at national core politics as the National Women Leader of the ruling party and the largest political party in Africa; All Progressive Congress; providing vision, strategy and operational execution to the women’s wing of the party, addressing gender issues, women empowerment, women affirmative action, welfarism, healthcare programs and operations geared towards female gender mainstreaming in politics, leadership and governance.

Dr Edu was very instrumental to the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of Nigeria through the mobilization of women all across the country in their millions to vote for President Bola Tinubu.
Dr. Edu was the immediate past Commissioner for Health of Cross River State where she has revolutionized the health care system through innovation, purposeful leadership, and integrity. Her energetic and quintessential leadership resulted in significant improvements in key health indices in Cross River state.

Some of these include best child survival rate in Nigeria; 63% reduction in maternal mortality rate (MMR) in public health facilities in the last 5 years; 44% reduction in new-born death at health facilities in the last 5 years; decline in HIV prevalence from 6.6% (2015) to 1.8% (2020).
The National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP) of the Federal Ministry of Health ranked Cross River State and the 2nd best performing state in 2020.

These remarkable achievements were made possible by her strategic investment and re-organisation of the Cross River state health system founded on a robust primary health care system as the fulcrum of its universal health coverage (UHC) agenda. She started the operationalization of the Cross River state Health insurance scheme covering over 80,000 cross Riverians in both Public and private sector within 6 months driving the state towards the attainment of universal Health coverage.

Dr Edu as Commissioner for Health in Cross River state managed COVID-19 pandemic in her state as the chairman of COVID-19 Response Taskforce, where she performed exceptionally well as the state recorded almost the lowest number of cases and mortality in the country. Her outstanding public health response preparedness and innovation brought about the introduction of face mask as a preventive measure against COVID-19 long before it was recommended by World Health Organization and the countries Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19.

Her unique leadership qualities saw her emerge the Chairman of the Nigeria Health Commissioners Forum since 2020 to 2022. In this capacity, she has reformed the organisation, giving it a legal status, and formally affiliated with the Nigerian Governors’ Forum. She organized the first ever health summit by the Forum which facilitated strategic engagement of the health commissioners with development partners, private sector, academia and the civil society to bridge information gap that existed between them, review progress towards UHC, identify opportunities for improvement and foster strategic partnerships to serve Nigerians better through policy actions and optimization of investments.

Dr Betta Edu was also appointed by President Buhari to represent the National council on Health as a member of the Presidential Health Reform committee chaired by the Vice President Prof. Yemi Osibanjo
Prior to her appointment as Commissioner for Health, she served as the pioneer Director General/CEO of CRSPHCDA where she established the Cross River State Primary Health Care Development Agency (CRSPHCDA) in 2016, and successfully created at least one functional primary healthcare center (PHC) in every ward in Cross River state (built 60 new PHCs and revitalized 200).

In line with her UHC policy agenda, she established the Cross River State Health Insurance Scheme which has over 80,000 enrollees accessing quality healthcare, and fully protected from financial risk. She established partnerships with local and international development partners and mobilized over USD10 million into the state health system to support strategic investments in resilient systems for sustainable health (RSSH) and quality healthcare service coverage.

She revolutionized the primary healthcare system in the state through policies and programmes that promoted innovation, quality of care, and efficiency. Under her leadership, the Agency developed the first ever minimum PHC service package for the state and established a framework for Traditional Birth Attendant Regulation in Cross River State. She reorganized the PHC system to promote access, equity, quality of care and efficiency.

These policy actions resulted in reduction in maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate and improved child survival rate. Working with her team she initiated the Vaccine Push System in Cross River State which strengthened the immunization program improving access to vaccines by 30%. The result of these innovative policies and strategic investments, Cross River State was ranked by UNICEF as the state with the highest child survival rate in Nigeria.

Her dynamic leadership qualities and sterling achievements earned her recognition among her peers who elected her the Vice Chairman of Forum of CEOs of Primary Health Care Agencies and Boards in Nigeria (March 2018 – May 2019).

Sometimes I still wonder why Nigerians are so cold and quiet like this inspite of the hardhip on the masses? It seems APC don jazz Nigerians..lolz

IconicR:
This skit people should know their boundaries please, they should stop behaving anyhow like their skit master Peter Obi. I'll never forgive Peter Obi for having the guts to challenge Asiwaju in court. I'll only let go when he apologizes and withdraw from the court and finally congratulates Asiwaju.

This must be an ethnic bigot
No correlation in what was posted and this ?

If he is going to fail, u won't come to the public space to denigrate your father..is called loyalty

He(Obasanjo) inclusive, cos he was the architect of the woe the country is right now

jumper524:
Firstly, the alleged increment was dated May 25th 2023.
Before Tinubu inauguration, the information was long published but it wasn't sensational at that time so they choose to report it now.

Secondly, The school fees for unity school for new students has always been over 100k.
Infact I've 2 little ones who attended fgc, one is still a student in JSS3. For my kid Bro who finished from fgc rubochi, the fee was over 85k as at 2015 when he gained admission.
While my kid sis in fgc kwali paid over 200k as new student for school fees. In 2020
The fee has always fluctuated according to schools for new students and now the FG decides to intervene by making a uniform price for all institutions.

If you know how these schools technically exploits parents of new students, you'll praise this approach.
The only fee missing in the list is pta which has already been Unified at 5k long ago.

Is this an excuse for APC hardship on the masses?
I have always say it, the problem of the country is the masses himself. Can an average civil servant afford this humongous amount? Lets factor in the masses when we are analysing issues cos they are vulnerable.

What is not good is not good and let's condemn in its totality

860 is now low?
Na wa o!

Rayban25:


na agbado fc modus operandi

Can we compare it to the earnings in other African countries?

Why must we justify the suffering sef?

[quote author=chokekachy post=124526624][/quote]

Just imagination

If another rerun holds today, APC will lose woefully even they like let them induce electorates with dollars

Curious346:
We are the giant of Africa , largest black nation on earth , the father of ECOWAS .

It PAINS MY HEARTH anytime I see lamentations about fuel price hike in Nigeria on social media.
Have we lost our dignity and prestige ?

If small Ghana pays N1600 per liter for pms , what then is the wailing about a paltry N618 per liter in Nigeria ?



I think we need look within to find out what our real problems are. AND TO ME IT'S CORRUPTION, BIGOTRY AND STATE SPONSORED TRIBALISM (site @DSS)

Is Ghana an oil producing country?
Y compare Ghana to Nigeria?
Ibadan in Oyo state is bigger than Ghana

abhosts:


Obi called fuel subsidy 'organised crime' that needs to go. Does that sound like someone who wanted to be methodical in removing it?

The organised crime of 8k palliatives nko?

Internet is your friend
Read his comments on Fuel Subsidy removal

Dotherightthing:


Just shut up!

You won't be saying if Obi had was the president.

Eggs must be broken for omelette to be made.

These are trying times and we shall overcome. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Local production of PMS is the way forward

Eggs must be broken for ommelette to be made? I laugh..Dey play!. So y is the poor the egg? Y is the poor at the recieving end? SMH

abhosts:


Atiku also promised to increase the suffering of the masses by removing subsidy and floating Naira. Only Sowore was pro subsidy.

Some ignorant followers are quick to quote Obi and Atiku about fuel subsidy removal, but they they disclose the modalities for removing fuel subsidy? The answer is No!

Removing Subsidy is not the problem but what is the Govt doing to cushion the effect?

Judging from what is on ground thus far, APC has failed Nigerians again.... Corruption will always beget corruption...

8k will last for a one month now
SMH

Obi should take down his challenge and let Tinubu be.

Obi has good intentions but Tinubu has shown that he is the person we need now.
No past presidents have taken the bold step he has taken so far.
Tinubu is the real change agent

Taking the bold step of Making life difficult for the masses? Ok o
Petrol is still 500 naira per litre as at this morning
Price of food commodities are not just high but some commodities like Tomatoes are scare ..

he said they are recruiting people now while some people have even started work. So I’m wondering who’s paying those people that have started work? Is it federal government?
