The official website of the Federal Ministry of Health is dysfunctional.
This is even as the ministry’s Twitter, Facebook and Instagram platforms have not been updated for eight months, and seven months respectively.
The ministry’s website hosted at https://www.health.gov.ng/presently shows “Your connection is not private…”
A further check showed “This server could not prove that it is www.health.gov.ng; its security certificate expired 79 days ago.”
Its social media platforms are inactive.
A check at the ministry’s Twitter account showed that the former Minister of State for Health, Dr Olorunnimbe Mamora, who was sworn in as the Ministry of Science and Technology in July is still listed as the Minister of Health on the ministry’s Twitter account @fmohnigeria.
Meanwhile, the current Minister of State for Health who assumed office on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, is Joseph Ekumankama.
The FMoH is one of the Federal Ministries of Nigeria concerned with the formulation and implementation of policies related to health. It also serves as Secretariat to the National Council on Health.
Efforts to reach Deputy Director/Head, Media and Publicity of the Federal Ministry of Health, Ahmadu Chindaya for comments proved abortive.
He did not take his calls and has yet to respond to a text message sent to him as of press time.
