Tinubu project Rebuilds Hope for Millions in Health Crisis

Tinubu project Rebuilds Hope for Millions in Health Crisis
Tinubu project is rewriting the story of survival for millions of Nigerians left behind by decades of neglect.
Through bold interventions, the federal government is now restoring access to life-saving medicines in forgotten regions. At the heart of this turnaround is MediPool, a new initiative under the Presidential Unlocking Healthcare Value Chain scheme.
The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) revealed this game-changing effort in a statement signed by its Acting Head of Media and Publicity, Ifeanyi Nwoko. According to the Commission’s Director General, Dr. Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh, the program reflects President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s renewed commitment to inclusive healthcare.
“MediPool is more than a program,” Dr. Ewalefoh said. “It’s about restoring hope to communities where medicine once felt like a luxury.”
MediPool is structured to operate as a high-efficiency Group Purchasing Organization. It centralizes the buying and distribution of essential medicines, vaccines, and consumables across Nigeria using a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
This system cuts out bottlenecks in procurement, making the supply chain for medicines more transparent, more affordable, and faster. Most importantly, it focuses on rural and hard-to-reach areas, where delays in medical delivery have cost countless lives.
For decades, families in far-flung villages have watched children and elders suffer because pharmacies and clinics lacked basic drugs. With MediPool, that bleak cycle is finally being broken. The ICRC says the initiative targets long-underserved communities where hope had vanished.
“This is only the beginning,” said Dr. Ewalefoh. “With the Renewed Hope Agenda, we’re using PPPs to bring infrastructure to every corner of the country. No Nigerian should be left behind.”
But the efforts don’t stop at medicine. Tinubu’s project has also revived two long-abandoned infrastructure schemes—both shelved for decades until now.
The first is the Ikere Gorge Hydropower Project in Oyo State, started in the 1970s but left to rot. Now, it’s being revived under a Finance-Build-Operate-Transfer (FBOT) arrangement. Once finished, the dam will produce over 6 megawatts of electricity. It will also provide clean water to towns like Iseyin and Saki, while enabling irrigation for farmers.
“This project is a lifeline,” the ICRC stated. “It will power homes, improve health, and boost food production.”
The second project, the Coastal Fisheries Terminal in Borokiri, Rivers State, is also set for a complete makeover. Through another PPP, the terminal will get cold-chain logistics and storage systems to reduce post-harvest waste.
This transformation means fishermen will keep more of their catch fresh, boosting profits and cutting food waste. It will also create jobs and increase Nigeria’s capacity to export marine products.
“These initiatives are a big leap for Nigeria’s development,” Dr. Ewalefoh said. “They show how private-sector innovation and public-sector vision can work together.”
The ICRC noted that all these projects fit neatly into Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. That agenda pushes for inclusive economic growth, better infrastructure, and better services—especially in places long ignored.
The Commission has promised strong oversight to make sure PPP projects don’t fall into the usual traps. It will monitor each project closely, ensure compliance, and manage risks to make sure citizens feel the real impact.
“Our role doesn’t stop at signing documents,” the ICRC stressed. “We walk with these projects from start to finish. What matters most is that the Nigerian people benefit.”
With healthcare restored, power revived, and fisheries rebuilt, Tinubu’s project is quickly turning into a national rescue mission. Where systems once failed, communities now see results.
Through this renewed public-private partnership model, Nigeria is building not just infrastructure, but trust in its future.
