THE NIGERIA WE MUST BUILD

INDUSTRY TWO: HEALTHCARE

Healthcare: What Are We Measuring?

We often measure healthcare by what we can see.

How many hospitals were built.
How many beds were added.
How much equipment was purchased.

Those numbers matter. But they do not tell the whole story.

A healthcare system should also tell us whether people are receiving care early, whether primary healthcare is functioning, whether health workers have what they need, whether families can afford treatment and whether preventable illness is actually being prevented.

In Nigeria, out-of-pocket payments still accounted for about 72% of current health expenditure in 2023, according to WHO. That makes the question of access inseparable from the question of affordability.

So perhaps the better question is not simply:

How much are we spending on healthcare?

It is:

What is that spending changing in the life of the ordinary Nigerian?

That is where healthcare transformation must be measured.

THE NIGERIA WE MUST BUILD

INDUSTRY TWO: HEALTHCARE

What if healthcare began before we needed a hospital?

A strong healthcare system should not only be waiting for people to become sick.

It should help prevent illness, detect problems early, provide reliable primary care and make treatment accessible when it is needed.

Nigeria is already placing renewed emphasis on primary healthcare, preventive care, health insurance, community health workers and stronger health data systems.

But the bigger question is how these pieces work together.

A health centre without the people to run it is incomplete.
A trained health worker without medicines and equipment is constrained.
A facility without reliable data cannot plan properly.
And healthcare that people cannot afford remains out of reach, even when the facility exists.

So what should the healthcare system Nigeria builds actually look like?

That is the conversation we begin next.

THE NIGERIA WE MUST BUILD

INDUSTRY ONE: EDUCATION

Implementation Is Where the Real Work Begins

A good education plan should not end with a policy document or a newly constructed school.

It has to survive implementation.

That means the teacher must be prepared for the curriculum. The school must have the infrastructure to support learning. Technology must have a purpose. Funding must reach the intended programmes. What is built must be maintained. And, most importantly, we must be able to measure whether children are actually learning.

Nigeria already has education reforms that recognise several of these areas, including teacher development, digitalisation, TVET, STEMM, out-of-school children and quality assurance.

The question, therefore, is not simply what should we change?

It is:

How do we make the entire system work together long enough to produce the change we want?

That is the implementation conversation.

Because building the Nigeria we want will require more than announcing good ideas.

It will require systems that can deliver them, people who can execute them, resources that follow the plan, and accountability for the results.

So where do we begin?

We begin by defining the outcomes we want from education.
Then we assess the infrastructure, teachers, curriculum, technology and funding required to achieve them.

We build where the gaps are greatest, equip the people responsible for delivery, measure what changes, and continuously improve what is not working.

That is the roadmap: define the outcome → build the system → equip the people → measure the results → improve continuously.
Education transformation should not be treated as a collection of projects.
It should be built as a system.

And that is the standard we should begin applying to every industry we want to transform in Nigeria.

Education is only the beginning.

THE NIGERIA WE MUST BUILD

A SCHOOL IS MORE THAN A BUILDING

If we are serious about changing education, we have to look beyond the classroom walls.

A school may have new desks, fresh paint and modern equipment. But if there is no reliable electricity, trained teachers, relevant learning materials or a system for maintaining what has been built, the infrastructure will eventually become another abandoned investment.

This is where implementation matters.

The school we build must be connected to the system around it.

Power.
Technology.
Teacher development.
Curriculum.
Safety.
Maintenance.
Learning outcomes.

Not as separate projects, but as parts of the same education system.

Because the real question is not whether we can build a modern school.

It is whether we can build one that continues to work.

That is the standard I believe we should begin demanding from education infrastructure in Nigeria.

THE NIGERIA WE MUST BUILD

EDUCATION: WHAT ARE WE MEASURING?

We have spent years talking about access to education.

More schools.

More classrooms.

More children enrolled.

All of these matter.

But there is another question we need to ask:

What are the children learning once they get there?

A child can spend years inside a classroom and still leave without the foundational skills needed to progress. That is one of the uncomfortable realities Nigeria must confront.

So, as we imagine the school system of the future, I am beginning to think that the conversation cannot end with infrastructure.

A beautiful school building is not necessarily a functioning school.

The quality of the teacher matters.

The curriculum matters.

Learning materials matter.

Electricity and digital access matter.

Most importantly, the outcome matters.

Can the child read? Think? Solve problems? Create? Compete?

Perhaps this is where we need to shift the conversation.

From how many children are in school to what their education is actually preparing them to become.

The school Nigeria needs for the future must do more than accommodate children.

It must prepare them for life beyond the classroom.

This is the conversation I want us to have as we continue to examine the Nigeria we must build.

What is the biggest problem you believe Nigeria's education system must solve first?

THE NIGERIA WE MUST BUILD

INDUSTRY ONE: EDUCATION

We often talk about the future of Nigerian education as though the future is simply waiting for us.

It isn't.

We are building it now.

In the classrooms we construct.

In the teachers we train.

In the skills we prioritise.

And in the kind of children our education system prepares for the world ahead.

So before we ask how many more schools Nigeria needs, I want to begin with a different question:

What should a Nigerian school be preparing a child for in 2035?

Because the answer to that question should influence everything we build today.

This is where our next conversation begins.

Education.

Not just as a sector.

But as the infrastructure behind Nigeria's future.

When I spoke of Africa realities, this wss what I meant.

There's a huge difference between a child raised in a digitalized environment with modern infrastructures, where quality education no longer becomes a luxury.

Is the government capable of funding such projects?

Are local communities capable of implementing them?

In 2027,effective collaboration should be our first priority if we want to build the Nigeria of our dreams.

Hepatitis remains a serious public health concern, and awareness is an important part of prevention.

I commend Rotary International for taking this message directly to the people and complementing the education with access to hepatitis vaccination.

This is what meaningful community service should look like: educating people, making prevention accessible and giving communities the tools to protect themselves.

Health education should never be an afterthought.

Thank you to everyone at Rotary International involved in this important exercise.

The Nigeria we must build is one where prevention becomes part of how we care for our people.

TOBA MODEL

A Nation Cannot Be Built From One Side

For the past seven days, I have opened up the thinking behind the TOBA Model.

We have talked about investment, opportunity, development, accountability and the systems required to turn good intentions into measurable outcomes.

But there is one part of the conversation that no government can complete on behalf of its people.

Citizenship.

A government can build a school.

It cannot make a child value education.

It can create an employment programme.

It cannot create the discipline required to keep learning, working and building.

It can provide infrastructure.

It cannot determine whether communities will protect it, businesses will use it productively or citizens will demand that it is maintained.

This is not an argument for excusing government failure.

Far from it.

Government must be held to a higher standard because it controls public resources and carries the responsibility of creating the conditions in which citizens can thrive.

But leadership and citizenship cannot remain two separate conversations.

A country becomes stronger when responsibility begins to move in both directions.

Government must listen, plan, invest, deliver and account for results.

Citizens must participate, contribute, protect public assets, create value, demand accountability and take ownership of the communities they live in.

That is the relationship I believe we need to rebuild.

And perhaps this is the most important lesson I am taking away from everything I have studied and observed:

Development is not something government does to people. It is something a society builds together.

This is why I do not see the TOBA Model as a finished document.

I see it as a framework that should be questioned, tested, challenged, improved and eventually measured by one thing:

Does it make life better for Nigerians?

The work ahead is therefore bigger than the model itself.

It is about taking the ideas we have discussed and asking how they can be translated into policy, investment, implementation and measurable outcomes across our communities.

I have shared what I saw in China.

I have shared the questions it raised for me.

I have now shared the beginning of the framework I believe Nigeria can continue to develop.

Now I want to hear from you.

If we are serious about building The Nigeria We Must Build, what is the one responsibility you believe government must take more seriously—and what is the one responsibility citizens must take more seriously?

The conversation does not end here.

This is where the work begins.
