Prof. Oyewole Oyerinde has criticized Nigeria’s public health system for failing many communities. The academic said inadequate infrastructure leaves patients without reliable access to basic care. He cited a shortage of clean water as one of the most serious deficiencies. Poor housing was another of the conditions he described. Many settlements also lack nearby health facilities, which can force residents to travel for treatment. These gaps can worsen preventable illness and make routine medical services harder to reach. His criticism centers on the everyday infrastructure on which effective health care depends.
