Federal Government Secures N80b Funding to Eliminate Tuberculosis

In order to bridge the significant funding shortfall in its fight against tuberculosis – TB, and achieve the goal of eliminating it by 2030, the Federal government has struck a 50 million dollar (80 billion naira) funding deal with the private sector.

Currently, only 6 percent of the National TB budget comes from domestic sources, leaving a 70 percent funding gap and a critical shortage that has hindered the widespread implementation of innovative TB interventions and the execution of the 2021-2026 TB National Strategic Plan.

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. MOHAMMED ALI PATE, who disclosed this in Lagos, said the federal government would contribute 25 million dollars to match the 25 million dollars financial commitment made by the private sector towards the goal.

IPAC Calls for Immediate Scrapping of SIECs

The Inter-Party Advisory Council – IPAC has called for the immediate scrapping of the State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECS), after the Supreme Court restored local government financial autonomy.

The council said that the States’ electoral bodies have become mere appendages of various government houses.

IPAC chairman, YUSUF DANTALLE disclosed this in Abuja, during a press briefing, saying that SIECs have proven to be incompetent and incapable of conducting free, fair, credible, transparent, inclusive, and peaceful elections.

He called for the implementation of the Supreme Court rulings and charged local government chairmen to reciprocate the gesture of this landmark ruling by the judicious utilization of the resources to deal with the several issues confronting Nigerians at the grassroots.
