What happened
The 16th Ministerial Oversight Committee (MOC) reviewed the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF). The federal government approved N40.7 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for primary healthcare delivery across 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory in Nigeria. The MOC also decided to expand the number of primary healthcare facilities benefiting from the fund by 5,000.

Why it matters
The N40.7 billion represents the federal government's quarterly contribution to the fund. Increased government revenue nearly doubled monthly disbursements and allocations to states. This expansion is intended to channel increased resources toward primary healthcare delivery across Nigeria.
