The European Union (EU) has hinted that it is not possible to solve all the problems in Nigeria with international donors cooperation.
It said the country is just too big and the problem is enormous; while the population is growing at the same time.
The Head of European Union Delegation to Nigeria and the ECOWAS, Ambassador Ketil Karlsen, who made this known, however, disclosed that the EU ended its Technical Assistance to the European Union Support to Immunisation Governance in Nigeria (EU-SIGN) Project with mix feelings.
The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) had announced last week that the Technical Assistance to the European Union Support to Immunisation Governance in Nigeria (EU-SIGN) Project has come to successful completion.
The European Union €63.5 million funded eight-year project was implemented between 2011 and 2019 by the NPHCDA in the twenty-three states of Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Cross River, Edo, Ebonyi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Yobe, Zamfara and the Federal Capital Territory.
However, in an interview with Tribune Online, Ambassador Ketil Karlsen said the EU is ending the project in Nigeria with mix feelings, saying that despite the success of the programme, too many children are still in very difficult health conditions.
