Concerned Nigerian Questions Atiku About Healthcare Reform

She stressed that every Nigerian deserves safe and timely healthcare and that nobody should treat human life as disposable.
She wrote:
“@atiku, in light of the continued concerns over negligence and the lack of accountability in Nigeria’s healthcare system, will you make comprehensive healthcare reform a top priority if you become President in 2027?
Nigeria urgently needs an independent Healthcare Monitoring and Compliance Agency to enforce standards, hold healthcare providers accountable, and ensure that the preservation of human life is treated as a national priority.
Every Nigerian deserves safe, timely, and dignified healthcare. Human life must never be treated as disposable. Will you commit to making this a reality?”
