What will you do to help Nigerians stay healthy instead of just treating sickness?
I will set up a National Health Education and Prevention Programme to promote healthier lifestyles and reduce preventable diseases. This means nationwide public health campaigns on nutrition, hygiene, vaccination and lifestyle-related diseases, health education built into schools and community programmes, and expanded screening and early detection at primary healthcare centres. I will also partner with communities and local governments to drive grassroots health awareness and behaviour change.

The ADC will:
1. Prioritize preventive healthcare. Establish a National Health Education and Prevention Programme (NHEPP) to promote healthier lifestyles, reduce the burden of preventable diseases, and lower long-term healthcare costs.
Details:
● Launch nationwide public health campaigns on nutrition, hygiene, vaccination, and lifestyle-related diseases ● Integrate preventive health education into schools and community programmes ● Expand routine screening and early detection services across primary healthcare centres ● Partner with communities and local governments to promote grassroots health awareness and behaviour change
2. Establish a National Health Security and Protection Programme under the Social Protection Act. The programme will combine health insurance with personal medical savings, ensuring unused savings roll over and grow over time, encouraging preventive care and long-term planning. Government will provide direct contributions or subsidies for vulnerable citizens, ensuring equitable access.
