Abstract:
Before and after independence Nigeria was plagued with the problem of how to cope with the health status of her citizenry. This problem cut across every segment of the society. Surprisingly little or no attention was accorded it until the nation was engulfed in civil war. After the civil war, the health status of Nigerians deteriorated. A quick look at it shows a deplorable state of health of Nigeria citizens characterized by infection of all kinds or diseases and infirmities. The health aspirations of Nigeria state after the civil war was exemplified by her various health programmes and projects. It has indeed embarked upon programmes in order to accelerate the rate of growth of the Nigerians health standard. Such programmes and projects are: primary Health care Delivery, Expanded programme on Immunization, War Against indiscipline, Roll Back Malaria etc. A critical look at the above seems to suggest that the only thing that kept on changing is the nomenclatures while the contents remained the same. This research therefore, anchored on the effects of these various programmes and projects on the health status of Nigerians. It also aimed at providing the missing link (s) that may be revealed in the course of this research work through literature review and hypotheses.The researcher, in the course of this work intends to apply probabilistic techniques which involves the application of randomization and invariably adopts quantitative research method in analyzing research findings.
