I was misquoted — SGF Mustapha react to comment on Nigeria’s bad health system

Yesterday (Thursday), I mentioned at the National Assembly that I became fully aware of the state of our medical system during the execution of this Task Force assignment. It has become clear that this has been taken out of context.

SGF, Boss Mustapha Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has described as false and misleading reports quoting him as saying he was not aware of the bad state of the nation’s healthcare system.

Mustapha had on Thursday lamented over the poor state of the nation’s healthcare system, saying he never knew that it was as bad as it is until he was appointed to head the COVID-19 task force.

He said, “I can tell you for sure, I never knew that our entire healthcare infrastructure was in the state in which it is. Until I was appointed to do this work,”

However, during the PTF’s daily media briefing in Abuja, Mustapha said he was quoted out of context, adding that what had been spread in the media did not reflect his intent or what he actually said.

According to him, his conversation with the leadership of the National Assembly was that his task as the leader of the PTF had made him fully aware of the state of the nation’s healthcare system.

Mustapha affirmed he was not just an urban politician but one who had close contacts with his rural base in his home state and well informed of the daily experience of his people, even in terms of healthcare provision.

“Yesterday (Thursday), I mentioned at the National Assembly that I became fully aware of the state of our medical system during the execution of this Task Force assignment. It has become clear that this has been taken out of context.

“I must clarify that I am aware and has indeed been a champion for the reform and transformation of the health care system. However, this PTF assignment has afforded me the opportunity to dig deeper, interrogate and x-ray the system better.

“So for anyone to think that I didn’t know the level of deplorable state of our healthcare systems, is a complete misrepresentation.

“For the benefit of those who do not know me well, I come from rural Nigeria. I was born in a village almost 64 years ago that didn’t even have a hospital, it had small missionary dispensary probably with one midwife, no birth certificate was offered. So I don’t even have birth certificate, I have declaration of age.

“A lot of you sitting here are privileged to have been born in a better and more equipped medical facilities. So from birth I know the state of our medical, healthcare, I am not a foreigner.

“My statement was totally taken out of context because that was not the reflection of what I said. But having to serve in this committee gave me a further insight into what is happening.

“Most of the things you see around as specialists, hospitals or clinics, you just see the buildings, you don’t know what is inside. But, being in this committee has given me opportunity of walking into these facilities, looking at what they have in relation to what they ought to have, my conclusion on that is that they don’t have what they ought to have.

“I wanted to give this explanation so that most of you will not think I am an ajebota, no. I was born a rural Nigerian, I grew up in rural Nigeria, I went to school in rural Nigeria and I still live in rural Nigeria.

“Yola is my home, I’m just on a journey here in Abuja. At the end of my work or whatever I am doing here, I will return home which is rural Nigeria and I am going to live with the facilities in rural Nigeria.

“The truth of the matter is that this is not the time to be distracted with unnecessary controversies,” he said.
