The Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu is deeply concerned about the plight of Nigerians.
He stated that the President is aware of what Nigerians are going through and he deeply cares.
The minister gave the assurance at the quarterly review meeting of the Traditional Leaders’ Committee on Primary Healthcare Delivery, representing the 19 northern states, held at the Government House, Bauchi, the state capital, yesterday evening.
“President Tinubu knows what Nigerians are going through. He feels the pain, he cares, and he is working day and night to ease the suffering. His main focus is on how we can improve the living conditions of our people,” he said.
The Minister acknowledged that the economic reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration have been tough on Nigerians, assuring that the long-term benefits would justify the sacrifices.
“Yes, there have been difficulties, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. After hardship comes relief,” he said.
He revealed that the federal government has been working tirelessly to address issues in key areas such as health and education.
According to him, 8,800 primary healthcare centers are now receiving regular funding through the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, while 4,000 centers are being revitalized across the country.
