Tinubu's Directive: Ensuring Health Insurance Compliance for Nigerian Agencies

President Bola Tinubu issued fresh directives to government agencies to ensure compliance with the National Health Insurance Act 2022, mandating health insurance for federal ministry departments and agencies. The move aims to enhance health financing and protect Nigerian youth by ensuring access to healthcare services.

Tinubu emphasized the importance of constructive engagement with the private sector to implement the new law effectively. The National Health Insurance Act has already seen over 20 million Nigerians enrolled in the scheme, with a commitment from the government to reach a target of 99% coverage by 2027, demonstrating a significant step towards improving healthcare accessibility in the country.
