 Let me begin by congratulating the Board and Management of the Private Sector Health Alliance for this remarkably game-changing initiative, the Adopt a Healthcare Facility Program. Your vision clearly reflects the urgency of ensuring that every Nigerian has access to quality healthcare at its most essential level. It tackles the recursive triple challenges of affordability, quality, and scale. The 774 local governments spread across vast geographical and cultural complexities, our responses most always converge the pragmatic instinct of the market, the social and constitutional responsibility of government, and our ever-increasing population if we're to have any chance of succeeding. The devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, its lingering effects, and the stark realities of climate change have been recent and urgent reminders for us to re-appraise how we allocate resources, especially at the intersection of public and private life. The elite-driven pool to concentrate public resources at the top of the pyramid and the priority of profit as a principal driving factor for private investment and operations are not sustainable. And we've seen this clearly in the last five years. The business of life simply cannot go on in spite of the most vulnerable of our populations. It must go on because of them. We can only improve the quality of our chances collectively and even individually for the long term by ensuring the quality of life of the most vulnerable of us, women, children, and rural populations, almost always beyond the reach of thinning public resources. Private sector interventions in the spirit of the Adopt a Healthcare Facility Program therefore become pragmatic models necessary for our vital duty of preserving life. The Nigerian private sector has been built and sustained by visionaries in every aspect. Mavericks who built on the foundation of post-independence generations to reposition the banking industry for the modern world from the turn of the 90s. Industrialists who using local knowledge networks and expertise built conglomerates spawning the entire country and beyond creating millions of jobs in the process and techpreneurs who since 2015 and between two recessions built billion-dollar businesses. It is clear that we can achieve if we effectively turn the entrepreneurial determination and efficiency of the Nigerian private enterprise toward the vital need of building sustainable access to quality primary healthcare. The impact of a revitalized primary healthcare sector is multi-dimensional. Current maternal and infant mortality rates are antithetical to our growth ambitions. Not only will more Nigerians be able to live their full potential if needless deaths are prevented. Fully functional PHCs will also create multiple jobs for communities across the country, doctors and nurses, hospital administrative staff and facility managers, pharmacists and caregivers. In 2018, the federal government re-energized the implementation of the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund with the aim of improving access to healthcare by making provision for routine daily operational costs for primary healthcare centers, amongst others. As of this year, it has committed over 80 billion to equipping health institutions across the country. Urgent efforts that still fall shy of the estimated 2.7 trillion Naira needed to achieve the desired primary healthcare standards over a 10-year period. The truth is that investments that we need to salvage Nigeria's primary healthcare system cannot be met by government alone, regardless of its best intentions. The Adopt a Healthcare Facility Program gives the private sector a veritable platform to step up to the plate at a moment that desperately calls for it. The test cases that we've seen already in Bauchi and Delta States foreshadow what we can achieve by consolidating on this foundation. If there ever was a time to make a concrete difference in the lives of Nigerians and to the general socioeconomic health of the country, it is now. The regulatory frameworks and public sector support and collaboration needed for this level of market-driven reform to work is at a corresponding level to your most laudable objective. There's also no greater sense of corporate and collective responsibility today than giving Nigerians everywhere a chance at a good life and a promising future. The possibilities of modern medicine put us in better stead than our producers have, and there is so much that we can do to improve quality of life. We are therefore very delighted to witness the first phases of this remarkable initiative and challenge the organized private sector to rise to the occasion. One primary healthcare center of decent global standard in every local government will achieve a seismic chain of equitable development in the immediate and long-term, and it is achievable. We can look back to this moment in the future, even when we are no longer in direct positions of influence, to the vast difference we've been able to make in the lives of millions through our contributions and support for this pivotal initiative. Thank you very much for your kind attention. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
