“In our country with multiple fractures and divisions, health is one element that the president is seeking to use to heal and unify this country, because it affects everyone across the political spectrum, across geographies, across wealth disparities. All of those divisions disappear when it comes to the health of the Nigerian person.
“That is why the reform agenda that was articulated under the ministry, with the president, tries to improve the overall health and well-being of Nigerians and to do it for all Nigerians so that no one is left behind.”
Furthermore, Pate explained that President Tinubu wants his cabinet members to respond to the needs of the people.
