Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has asked the federal government to publish Nigeria’s health agreement with the United States following Ghana’s rejection of a proposed pact with Washington.

Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), spoke in a statement issued by Phrank Shaibu, director of strategic communication of his campaign council.

Nigeria signed a five-year health memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the US on December 19, 2025.

According to the federal ministry of health, the agreement covers disease surveillance, health data systems, and procedures involving pathogen samples.

The US is expected to provide nearly $2 billion in grants, while Nigeria has made health spending commitments projected to mobilise about $3 billion over five years.

John Mahama, Ghana’s president, recently disclosed that his government rejected a proposed US health compact over concerns about medical records, pathogen information, funding obligations and the inspection of imported medicines.
