At the 2025 Health Sector-Wide Joint Annual Review in Abuja, Finance Minister Wale Edun declared health investment central to Nigeria’s economic transformation, praising Health Minister Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate for leadership that has earned global acclaim for accountability.
Edun announced a nearly 60% surge in the 2025 health budget, with the Basic Health Care Provision Fund more than doubling from ₦131 billion in 2024 to a projected ₦298 billion by 2026.
He also unveiled plans to secure ₦150 billion for vaccine procurement, framing health as a driver of private-sector growth and inclusive prosperity.
“The health sector exemplifies transparent governance that attracts investment and delivers results,” Edun stated.
Dr. Pate welcomed the funding boost, committing to sustained innovation and collaboration to fortify Nigeria’s healthcare system.
