Ogah advocated for allocating one per cent of government revenue to combat HIV/AIDS and other public health challenges. He argued that this dedicated funding would not only bolster the fight against diseases but also reduce Nigeria’s reliance on foreign aid for healthcare.
Additionally, Ogah called for amending the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) Act. He believes restructuring the agency would enhance its capacity to coordinate responses across a broader spectrum of public health issues.
