A major highlight of today’s fireside chat was the engaging session with Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, who offered a thoughtful reflection on several decades of health-sector reform efforts in Nigeria.

He observed that although Nigeria’s per-capita health expenditure had, for many years, remained below $8 per person, the government has now raised it to roughly $15 per person, while also doubling the federal health budget to ₦2.7 trillion. Current reform initiatives are directed at strengthening Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs), expanding maternal-health programmes, and improving coordination across federal, state, and local government systems.

Prof. Pate stressed that rebuilding Nigeria’s health system demands patience, unwavering political resolve, and sustained commitment. He highlighted the need for more innovative and evidence-driven health-financing mechanisms, with particular attention to primary healthcare, hospital services, and broader social determinants of health, including nutrition, sanitation, and housing.

He further underscored the importance of trust, strong governance, and closer collaboration with development partners to ensure that ongoing reforms deliver lasting impact for citizens.

The Minister also emphasised the necessity for health workers to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrate mental-health services into PHCs, and restore public confidence in the system. With BHCPF funds now reaching more than 8,000 PHCs, the focus is shifting toward accountability, strategic use of resources, and deeper community engagement to improve health outcomes across the country.

Nigeria, Brazil’s EMS sign MoU on local drug manufacturing, to create 1,200 jobs

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, has witnessed the signing of a major Memorandum of Understanding between the Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Healthcare Value Chain (PVAC), Brazil’s largest pharmaceutical group EMS S/A, and Oaks Medical Limited.

The agreement establishes a framework for “Project Oaks,” a WHO GMP-compliant pharmaceutical manufacturing facility and life sciences innovation hub in Nigeria.

The signing follows President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to Brazil and advanced discussions held with President Lula on strengthening collaboration in pharmaceuticals

The MoU sets the stage for improved local drug production, reduced import dependence, and a more resilient national pharmaceutical supply chain.

When fully operational, the facility is expected to deliver affordable, high-quality medicines for more than 30 million Nigerians while significantly reducing shortages that have long challenged the health sector. It also aims to position Nigeria as a competitive player in regional pharmaceutical exports under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

A key purpose of the partnership is to unlock technology transfer, build local capacity, and strengthen Nigeria’s industrial base in the health sector

At the official signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare Professor Muhammad Ali Pate presided over the partnership agreement involving the Presidential Initiative to Unlock the Healthcare Value Chain (PVAC), EMS Brazil, and Oaks Medical Limited.
This collaboration stems from strategic discussions initiated during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to Brazil, where he and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva mutually resolved to pursue deeper cooperation in the areas of pharmaceutical production, healthcare advancement, and broader industrial development. Their commitment laid the foundation for the partnership now being formalized.
