Speaker of the House of Representatives Calls for Increased Health Sector Investments to Boost Economy

By Fatima M. Sambo

In a recent meeting with a delegation from the First Surat Group of Companies, Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, emphasized the need for increased investments in Nigeria's health sector. The Speaker highlighted that such investments would not only curb medical tourism but also contribute to generating foreign exchange and stabilizing the country's currency.

During the meeting, which took place in Abuja, the delegation from the Turkish conglomerate in Nigeria, comprised of key figures such as the Group Managing Director, Yasar Ovenc; Chief Medical Director of Nizamiye Hospital, Prof Ibrahim Yanmis; Executive Director of Nizamiye Hospital, Servet Gulerman; Managing Director of Nigerian-Turkish International Schools, Feyzullah Bilgin; President of Ufuk Dialog, Emrah Ilgen, and the Public Relations Officer of Nizamiye Hospital.

Speaker Abbas Tajudeen's call for increased investment in the health sector underscores the potential economic benefits that could stem from such initiatives. With a focus on reducing the need for Nigerians to seek medical treatment abroad, the Speaker's proposal aims to improve the domestic healthcare infrastructure while also contributing to the country's economic growth.

The appeal for heightened investment in the health sector came as part of a broader discussion on strengthening economic ties between Nigeria and the First Surat Group of Companies. This move stands as a testament to the growing interest in leveraging partnerships to drive sustainable development and growth within the nation.

As Nigeria continues to chart its economic course, the Speaker's stance on bolstering the health sector points to a strategic approach aimed at not only enhancing healthcare services but also fostering economic resilience and stability.
