President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to overhauling Nigeria’s health sector, with a strong emphasis on tackling the persistent power supply crisis crippling the nation’s hospitals.
Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, at the National Stakeholders’ Dialogue on Power in the Health Sector in Abuja on Tuesday, the President declared that no Nigerian should lose their life because of electricity interruptions in medical facilities.
Tinubu described the situation as unacceptable and pledged that his government would prioritise sustainable energy solutions for health facilities nationwide.
The President explained that improving energy supply in healthcare is a key part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to decentralise energy systems and encourage private sector participation.
