The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)’s frequent medical trips abroad silently raise a lot of legal, policy and social questions. These questions have remained unresolved over the years of the current regime. A lot of Nigerians who would have directly raised these questions on the propriety of such medical tours have been blackmailed to grumble without raising the relevant questions. This discourse attempts to contextualise the President’s medical tours within the policy and developmental milieus of Nigeria.
Section 1 of the National Health Act establishes a National Health System under the leadership of the Minister of Health who is an appointee of the president. The Minister of Health is not one of the constitutional appointees that the President is under obligation to appoint, as he can decide to retain the portfolio just as he retained the petroleum resources portfolio in his office. The National Health System is inter alia charged with providing for persons living in Nigeria the best possible health services within the limits of available resources and to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of Nigerians to access to health care services. In essence, it is the duty of the President to ensure that the health of Nigerians receive adequate attention.
