The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Benjamin Kalu, in a statement issued on Tuesday to commemorate the 2023 edition of the World Malaria Day, noted that “four African countries, including Nigeria, accounted for over half of all malaria deaths worldwide.”He said, “In Nigeria, malaria remains a significant public health challenge with an estimated 97 million cases and 300,000 deaths annually.
“To address this, the sum of over $300m has been approved under the World Bank and the Islamic Bank IMPACT projects to address and compliment donor support. However, this effort is at a slow speed in implementation. Despite the passage of the legislative resolution in December 2021 to access the credit facility, none of the essential commodities has been procured.
According to the House’ spokesperson, the development had given the members of the National Assembly, as reported by the Chairman of the House Committee on AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, “a great concern due to lack of procurement of these commodities.”
