Nigeria at 66: Musings on the health sector in the Renewed Hope era, By Olayinka Atilola

Every year since 1960, the Nigerian state has celebrated the anniversary of its independence from the British colonialists on 1 October. This year marks the 66th of such celebrations. The present government has planned a ceremony, however low-key, to commemorate the day on Thursday. The government has chosen the theme “From Reforms to Stability: Consolidating Nigeria’s Renewed Hope for Shared Prosperity”, conceivably to showcase some of the fruits of the president’s signature economic reforms on different aspects of the economy and national development.
