 Nigeria Unfazed by USAID's Exit, Vows to Fund Healthcare Independently


The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Ali Pate, has reassured Nigerians that the country is capable of catering to its citizens' health needs despite the US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s exit. USAID's departure was prompted by US President Donald Trump's order to close the agency, leaving many African countries in limbo.


Pate expressed gratitude to the US government for its contributions to Nigeria's healthcare, particularly in areas such as antiretroviral therapies, tuberculosis, malaria, and maternal and child health conditions. However, he emphasized that Nigeria is determined to take ownership of its healthcare responsibilities and reduce its dependence on external assistance.


"We may be a poor country, but we are a capable country, and we are determined to own up to that responsibility," Pate said. "If others step in and support us, we appreciate it, but we are not begging for it, and we also will live within what we have."


The minister noted that Nigeria has been working towards self-sufficiency in healthcare provision, even before the US government's policy change. The country aims to increase national ownership, domestic resources, and improve its healthcare value chain.


Pate's statement comes as many African countries are feeling the impact of USAID's exit. The agency's funding cuts have threatened essential services, including healthcare, education, and humanitarian aid.¹ However, Nigeria's determination to fund its healthcare independently is a significant step towards reducing its reliance on foreign aid.
