Nigerians drag SGF Boss Mustapha for saying he never knew health infrastructure was bad

- SGF Boss Mustapha is clueless as to how bad the Nigerian healthcare sector is

- For admitting he was unaware of the deplorable state of the health sector until coronavirus, the SGF has come under severe criticism

- Some Nigerians are calling Mustapha a liar while others are wondering how such a high-ranking official is not aware of what is going on in the health sector

Over the years, many Nigerians have been clamouring for the government to take steps at reforming the health sector which is lacking in so many ways. All pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic showed up and it is crippling the health sector across the world.

Nigerian leaders are known for their frequent medical trips abroad while the masses have to manage the weak healthcare system.

As the COVID-19 hits harder, these leaders cannot travel abroad as they are known to do. They now have to use the hospitals which they neglected.

I never knew Nigeria’s healthcare infrastructure was this bad - SGF Boss Mustapha

While the majority of Nigerians are aware of the issues facing the health sector in the country, it appears the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha had no idea what was going on. He may have only gotten to know about how bad things are because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Mustapha recently expressed shock at the deplorable state of Nigeria's healthcare infrastructure, saying he never knew the country's healthcare system was in a very bad state until the pandemic.

According to Mustapha, his role as the chairman of the presidential task force on COVID-19 opened his eye to the current state of Nigeria’s healthcare infrastructure.

Nigerians are not taking it lightly with the SGF as they have taken to social media to criticise him. Many are wondering how such a high-ranking official is not aware of the reality the people have been facing.

"Fellow Nigerians, don't be surprised that Boss Mustapha said he was not aware our hospitals are in a terrible state.
