Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged the Tinubu administration to immediately publish the details of Nigeria’s health agreement with the United States, citing risks to patient data and significant financial commitments. The demand comes after Ghana’s president revealed that his country had rejected a similar health deal with the U.S. Atiku’s campaign has raised concerns that the agreement could expose sensitive health information and involve billions in public spending.
The ADC presidential candidate’s team has also questioned the transparency of a separate U.S. Investment deal in Nigeria’s mineral sector, estimated at $700 billion. Adviser Paul Ibe has expressed doubts about the government’s description of the agreement, calling for clearer details on how American investment will be structured. Both deals have sparked debates about national sovereignty and the protection of public resources.
Atiku’s call for transparency reflects growing scrutiny over international agreements that could impact Nigeria’s healthcare and economic policies. His campaign argues that without full disclosure, there is a risk of mismanagement or exploitation of public funds. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between political leaders and their critics over the terms of foreign partnerships.
