In a significant move, the Federal Government has announced a state of emergency in an undisclosed sector, marking a crucial step in addressing urgent issues that affect the nation. This declaration aligns with the ongoing gathering of stakeholders in Ekiti State for the 64th National Council on Health, where critical challenges within the sector are being discussed.
During the opening ceremony, discussions centered on the theme of building a robust and inclusive system within the undisclosed sector for a healthier Nigeria. Dr. Muhammed Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister for Health and Social Welfare, highlighted the sector’s dire state, stressing the immediate need for intervention without specifying the sector.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji expressed enthusiasm for hosting the 64th National Council on Health, welcoming national and international stakeholders. He highlighted achievements within the undisclosed sector over recent years without divulging specific details.
The urgency for this undisclosed declaration follows a motion from Lagos lawmaker Fayinka Oluwatoyin (APC) during an Abuja plenary session. The House of Representatives supported Oluwatoyin’s motion, citing rapid deterioration and issues leading to increased mortality rates within an undisclosed sector nationwide.
