President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced a comprehensive energy reform plan aimed at resolving the persistent power supply crisis in Nigeria’s hospitals. Speaking at the opening of the National Stakeholders Dialogue on Power in the Health Sector, Tinubu emphasized the urgent need for coordinated action to ensure reliable electricity for healthcare delivery.
The President described the initiative as a cornerstone of modern healthcare, highlighting that reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective electricity access is essential to delivering quality services, improving outcomes, and strengthening efficiency across Nigeria’s health system.
