The House of Representatives has resolved to probe the management of over 4.6 billion dollars in international health grants received by Nigeria from the Global Fund and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) between 2021 and 2025.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion moved on Tuesday by Amobi Godwin Ogah, who expressed concern over the lack of transparency and accountability in the handling of these funds, despite Nigeria’s persistent struggle with preventable diseases.
The House’s decision shows its renewed commitment to promoting transparency and effectiveness in the management of donor funds, ensuring that Nigeria’s international health partnerships translate into real improvements in the lives of citizens.
