Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is positioning traditional rulers and religious leaders as central partners in advancing health sector reforms and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). He is simultaneously using these platforms to call for interfaith unity among Christians and Muslims as Lent and Ramadan begin, and to shape norms among young health professionals. This matters because it links politically influential social institutions to the implementation of health policy in a context where state capacity and public trust are uneven.
