🇳🇬 Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! 🇳🇬

As our great nation marks 65 years of independence, we at the International Society of Media in Public Health proudly join millions of Nigerians to celebrate our resilience, diversity, and unwavering hope for a healthier, more equitable future. This year’s theme, “All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation,” reminds us that progress requires the collective efforts of every citizen.

True independence goes beyond the attainment of freedom, it reflects our shared responsibility to build a nation where everyone, regardless of gender, background, or status, can access quality healthcare, equal opportunities, and a safe environment.

At ISMPH, we are committed to leveraging the power of media and communication to drive public health awareness, promote accountability, and inspire collective action toward a stronger Nigeria. We especially recognize the importance of gender equality in national development, because no nation can progress when half its population is left behind.

This milestone is a call for unity, innovation, and inclusive growth. Let’s continue working together to shape a future where every Nigerian has the chance to thrive.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at ISMPH!

After four days of powerful dialogue, reflection, and commitment, the National Health Financing Policy Dialogue has come to a close but the energy in the room signals only the beginning of what lies ahead.

From the very start, it was clear this gathering was more than another meeting. Leaders from across government, civil society, academia, the private sector, and development partners converged to reimagine how Nigeria can sustainably finance health. The conversations were candid, the ideas bold, and the urgency unmistakable.

A defining moment came with the directive by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, mandating all MDAs to implement health insurance with strict compliance monitoring. This landmark decision marks a turning point in Nigeria’s effort to reduce out-of-pocket spending and protect more citizens from the financial burden of healthcare
Throughout the dialogue, leaders reminded us why this shift matters. The Permanent Secretary, Daju Kachollom, urged participants to “move beyond dialogue into decisive action.” Minister Atiku Bagudu described health not just as a service, but as “an investment in knowledge, in systems, and in people.” Governor Charles Soludo challenged us to “spend smarter,” while Finance Minister Wale Edun stressed that preplanned and prepaid healthcare must become the new standard.

Partners from the African Union, WHO Africa, Global Fund, and the Gates Foundation echoed these calls, praising Nigeria’s leadership while underscoring that sustainable health systems require innovation, accountability, and collaboration. As Mrs. Amma Twum-Amoah of the AU noted, this is not only about policy but about protecting lives, building resilience, and investing in human capital for generations to come.

Walking away from this dialogue, one thing is undeniable: Nigeria is moving with clarity and determination. We now have a roadmap to expand health insurance, strengthen primary care, mobilise domestic resources, and ensure smarter, more transparent spending that delivers real impact.

The challenge now is to carry this momentum forward. Political will, strategic investment, and collective action will determine whether these conversations translate

Team ISMPH was honored to attend the official commissioning of the rehabilitated Phase 2 Water Treatment Plant at Lower Usman Dam, Ushafa Road, Bwari, Abuja. Our Executive Director had the privilege of serving as Master of Ceremonies for this landmark event.

This transformative project is set to:
• Enhance water supply capacity throughout the Federal Capital Territory
• Strengthen the fight against waterborne diseases
• Promote improved sanitation, hygiene, and healthier living conditions
• Demonstrate the government's unwavering commitment to citizen welfare

The project establishes a strong foundation for enhanced service delivery in the water sector. As clean water flows with renewed vigor from household taps, we anticipate it will bring renewed hope, better health outcomes, and greater prosperity to all residents of Abuja and the surrounding communities.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Federal Capital Territory administration and all Nigerians on this remarkable achievement.
