President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated a 16 member Nigeria End Malaria Council, NEMC with Aliko Dangote as Chairman.
The president believed that the successful implementation of the Council’s agenda and savings from estimated economic burden of the disease would save Nigeria about 687 billion Naira in 2022 and 2 trillion Naira by 2030.
Buhari said beyond improving the quality of life, health and well-being of Nigerians, the concerted strategy to tackle malaria had both public health as well as socio economic benefits for Nigeria.
