Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to enforce mandatory health insurance across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
The directive aligns with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act, 2022, and requires immediate issuance of a service-wide circular to ensure compliance.
The directive outlines five key areas of implementation across public institutions: requiring applicants to present valid NHIA Health Insurance Certificates, developing a digital verification platform, collaborating with NHIA to establish internal systems for verifying certificates, and implementing consistent compliance monitoring.
