The Federal Government has disbursed over ₦20 billion to 4,362 Primary Health Care Centres (PHCs) across Northern Nigeria in the last two years, according to the Coordinating Minister of Health, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate (@muhammadpate).

Speaking at a Government–Citizens Engagement Session organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna, the Minister also revealed that 274 health projects have been completed across 35 tertiary hospitals in the region, serving over 4.5 million outpatients and 1.6 million inpatients.

These interventions are part of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF), Nigeria’s flagship health financing reform. Established by the National Health Act of 2014, the BHCPF aims to improve access to quality and affordable healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations.

Since its full rollout, the BHCPF has:
•Disbursed ₦45 billion by November 2024, with an additional ₦32.88 billion approved by March 2025
•Reached over 7,000 PHCs across the country
•Funded infrastructure upgrades, medical supply purchases, and essential service delivery

The Federal Government’s ongoing commitment under President Bola Tinubu continues to transform Nigeria’s healthcare delivery, ensuring more equitable outcomes nationwide and building a strong foundation for Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

chatinent:
Money shared to gang and cohorts successfully. The FG may not know the sum disbursed didn't even have to land before it was shared.

Gbadugbakun:
So there are no PHCs in the south ba? This desperate attention seeking gimmicks Tinubu is doing wouldn't make the north vote for him in 2027.

MemphitzDgreat1:
All these wrong politicians surrounding Tinubu refused to tell him the truth that he is a failure.
Tinubu won't get 3 million votes in 2027.
He is only planning for rigging
But 200 millions Nigerians won't allow rigging cos it will end up in revolution 🙄
Mark my word!
With electoral reform and uploading of result. APC can not win a councillorship in a free and fair election! Tinubu's hope is only on inec and nothing else . Nobody with him right senses go vote for Tinubu.

Disbursing without supervision, I guarantee you the money will end up being used to purchase real estate in maitama and asokoro.

THE MONEY WONT LEAVE ABUJA.

israelmao:
There is a lot of money in this government more than before.Huge fund is being pumped into the states but the fourth arm of government- the bureaucrats are hijacking it.A case in point, FG agriculture intervention programme including World Bank assisted programmes in Kaduna State have been hijacked by the top- ranking civil servants and distributed among Uba Sani's political allies and friends.

BelieveAfrica:
The problem of this government is priority and sincerity. The minister lumped the sum together to appear as if the FG is doing something great and the people are not appreciative. 20B share among 4.386 PHC is around 4.5 Million per PHC. That means yearly each received 2.25M, since it was given in 2 years period. That's 180,000 per month per PHC.
The same government can spend 39Billion of renovation of event hall.
How do you cater for grassroots Healthcare in the North with 180K per PHC a month. You need to visit those PHC and see level of degradation. PHC in FCT has been on strike for nearly 4 months now...
Tinubu need to have a better minister of health to drive his vision and agenda.

Tareq1105:
Why don't you help them to supervise the disbursement since that's the only way you can believe?
