Ahead of the presentation of the 2017 budget by President Muhammadu Buhari to the National Assembly, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, yesterday, pleaded with the lawmakers not to cut the allocation to his ministry.
The Minister, who made this appeal at the opening ceremony of a two-day public hearing conducted by the Chike John Okafor-led House of Representatives Committee on Healthcare Services on financing healthcare and the revitalisation of Primary Healthcare system, also denied insinuations that $400 million meant to eradicate polio was stolen.
