Health Ministry boss Kachallom Daju announced Friday in Abuja a massive ₦32.88 billion fourth-quarter BHCPF drop to 36 states and FCT—fueling primary care upgrades, insurance booms and service gateways amid Tinubu’s transparency push via quarterly MOC oversight with CSOs, privates and ALGON for accountable, inclusive wins.
NPHCDA’s Dr Muyi Aina hailed rising clinic visits, jabs and essentials under BHCPF 2.0’s smart funding (₦600K low-volume, ₦800K high-volume sites from Jan 2026), hinting at dipping out-of-pocket spends per National Health Accounts—while NHIA DG Dr Kelechi Ohiri spotlighted coverage surges via public fund tracking and cross-agency reports.
This quarterly cash rhythm—echoing Q1/Q2’s ₦32.88B, Q3’s end-Aug blast and Oct 24’s third wave—ramps 2026 accelerations in maternal/child health, immunizations and repro services, proving coordinated disbursements could slash costs, boost readiness and deliver real wellbeing if momentum holds.
