🇳🇬 *_Nigeria is reportedly setting aside $200 million in its 2025 budget to counter the suspension of US aid_* Last week, the Nigerian government formed a committee to devise a transition and sustainability plan for health programs that were previously funded by USAID. This follows US President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 90-day freeze on most foreign aid, part of a broader review of assistance programs by his administration. In reaction, Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council has reportedly allocated $1 billion for healthcare reforms and earmarked additional funds specifically for HIV treatment packs. As a significant beneficiary of US foreign aid, Nigeria received $1.02 billion in 2023 alone, much of which was channeled through agencies such as USAID, according to reports from US media. __________________________ *The Global South story is yours to tell*. *_Join The African Wave _* and be part of the movement that’s empowering Africans and the Global south to take control of their narrative._ `Join the movement 👇🏽👇🏽` https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vab5CdZBadmSwuWId53T
