Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday presided over the National Council on Privatization, NCP, where power sector issues and comprehensive healthcare reforms were tabled.
The NCP approved the preparation and presentation to Mr. President and the Federal Executive Council, a draft legislative instrument to enact the Health Sector Reform Bill and associated legislation.
“The critical point here is that this Buhari administration’s proposed reforms will ensure that several millions of Nigerians who can’t afford to pay for it, would begin to receive efficient healthcare services once the new system takes off,” the VP’s spokesman Laolu Akande said in a statement.
Members of the NCP include several federal ministers, the Central Bank Governor and the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises who is the Secretary of the Council.
