What Tinubu Allocated To Healthcare Sector In 2025 Budget

President Bola Tinubu allotted N2.48 trillion to the healthcare sector in the 2025 budget, accounting for 5.18% of the overall ₦47.9 trillion budget.

Tinubu’s 2025 Appropriation Bill, titled “Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity,” prioritises security, infrastructure, and human capital development.

The President made numerous substantial budget commitments, including N2.48 trillion for healthcare, which is the fourth biggest allocation, encompassing critical areas such as infrastructure, basic healthcare, and human capital development.

Additionally, N4.91 trillion was set aside for defence and security, N4.06 trillion for infrastructure, and N3.52 trillion for education.

He emphasised the government’s commitment to Universal Health Coverage programs, which seek to boost primary healthcare systems throughout Nigeria.

“In this way, we have allocated 402 billion naira for infrastructure investments in the health sector in the 2025 Budget and another 282.65 billion naira for the Basic Health Care Fund,” Tinubu stated.

According to the president, Nigerian hospitals will be revitalised with medication and improved resources to ensure that all Nigerians receive quality care.

“This is consistent with the Federal Government’s planned procurement of essential drugs for distribution to public healthcare facilities nationwide, improving healthcare access and reducing medical import dependency,” he said.
