The Nigeria Tobacco Control Alliance (NTCA) on Wednesday in Calabar disclosed that only N28 million has been allocated to it between 2023 and 2025. Onwuka said the allocations threaten implementation of the National Tobacco Control Act (NTCA) 2015 and weaken efforts against tobacco-related diseases nationwide. He warned that declining global development funding could weaken tobacco control programmes, exposing Nigeria to aggressive tobacco industry marketing and increasing public health risks. Onwuka urged government to establish sustainable domestic financing through earmarked tobacco tax revenues dedicated exclusively to tobacco control programmes and enforcement activities. He cited Gabon, which allocatesd one per cent of tobacco tax revenues to tobacco control, and Côte d’Ivoire, which dedicated special tobacco levies to health programmes.
