Episode Details

On this episode of Today in Global Health, Professor Ngwaba and Oluwakayode explore the contrast between Nigerians in the diaspora — fiercely proud of the country from afar — and the lived realities of Nigerians at home navigating daily systemic challenges.

The conversation then zooms in on Abia State, where recent reforms are reshaping governance and healthcare through incentive-driven structures. From motivating health workers to improving accountability and service delivery, the episode examines how intentional policy choices can change outcomes when governance meets purpose.

Thought-provoking and hopeful, this discussion connects identity, responsibility, and reform — asking what works, why it works, and what the rest of the country can learn.
