The health minister attributed the prominence of non-communicable diseases to certain transitions Nigeria is undergoing in various areas.

“Nigeria is going through multiple transitions all at once. It is undergoing a demographic transition with a population that is youthful. At the same time, it’s ageing and the structure of our population is changing gradually,” he said.

“We are having an epidemiological transition whereby the patterns of diseases that we have had for the last several decades are gradually giving way to other new diseases.”
