Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Ali Pate, has said that the country can cater for its citizens’ health.

This is despite the exit of the US Agency for International Development, USAID.

DAILY POST reported that Tech billionaire, Elon Musk, who leads President Donald Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, had moved to seize control of USAID, describing it as evil and a criminal organisation.He also wrote several other posts about the agency, saying things like, “USAID was a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America” and “USAID is evil.”

Just during the week, Scott Perry, a United States Congressman representing Pennsylvania, accused the agency of funding terrorist organizations like Boko Haram.

Perry disclosed this at the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency on Thursday.

Speaking during a session titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” Perry accused USAID of providing $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on Friday, the Minister said the country may have no option but to survive with what it has, insisting Nigeria was never going to beg for help.
