… Calls for aggressive investments
Obi who wrote on his X platform -@PeterObi said:” Our budget of N1.3 trillion for the health sector, in a country of about 218 million people, is still not enough to make a serious impact in the sector and still falls below the 15 per cent commitment specified in the 2001 Abuja Declaration.“With the continual decline in our health sector, we need to make more aggressive investments that will improve the lives of the people.
“Such a volume of funds, if retained in our economy would have impacted positively on the nation and helped us to save the much-needed foreign exchange. This day, therefore, presents us, the leaders, with another opportunity to reflect on our vision and prioritise investment in the very critical areas of human development for the ultimate good and development of the nation.
