In his address earlier, Chairman House Committee on AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Mr. Amobi Ogah, said the committee was meeting with the minister in order to be on the same page with the ministry with the minister and to ensure that programs and projects relating to HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Malaria are implemented seamlessly without bottlenecks because of their critical importance in saving the lives of Nigerians.

Mr. Ogah who had Advocated for the creation of a Healthcare SectorTrust Fund to take care of eventualities and gaps in funding reiterated the call for the Federal Government to give needed priority to the nation’s healthcare sector.
He reiterated the commitment of the National Assembly in supporting policies and Programmes of the government aimed at improving the Nigeria Health sector.
