The House of Representatives has announced plans to investigate the management of over $4.6 billion in grants received by Nigeria from the Global Fund and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) between 2021 and 2025.
The funds, amounting to more than $1.8 billion from the Global Fund and $2.8 billion from USAID, were designated for combating HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, as well as for strengthening Nigeria’s resilient and sustainable health systems.
Lawmakers say the probe aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective utilization of the grants to improve public health outcomes across the country.
