A presidential candidate has expressed concerns about the state of primary healthcare. Peter Obi, of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, says it is impossible to build a new Nigeria with a weak primary healthcare system. He is calling on the government to invest more in primary healthcare across the country.

Obi's comments were in response to a report criticizing the performance of Primary Healthcare Centres. The report found that many centres did not meet staffing requirements. Obi sees this as a major issue, contributing to Nigeria being considered a difficult place to live.

Further details on Obi's statement and the report that prompted it are available from the source.
