Nigeria to invest $200 million in pharmaceutical infrastructure

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), Mr. Uche Orji has announced plans by the Federal Government to invest $200 million in pharmaceutical infrastructure.

The funds are expected to be used to execute 20 projects in the health sector under the Federal Government’s Health Intervention Initiative.

This disclosure was made by Orji during a weekly briefing on Thursday, July 29, 2021, in Abuja.

Orji said that some of the pharmaceutical infrastructure to be embarked upon with this fund includes the manufacture of essential drugs, vaccines, and the construction of cancer centers in the nation’s health care sector.

The successful implementation of this initiative would help the country drastically reduce its dependence on foreign supplies.

Mr. Oji equally revealed that the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) will manage a tolling system on major highways across the country including the ongoing Lagos/Ibadan express road when concessions arrangements are perfected.
