"Healthcare and health insurance in Nigeria can be expensive, especially for those who are not covered by a government-sponsored health insurance plan. Private health insurance plans can be costly, and the cost of medical care can be prohibitively expensive for many people. Additionally, the quality of healthcare in Nigeria is often lower than in other countries, making it difficult to access quality care. Furthermore, the cost of medications and treatments can be high, and many people are unable to afford them," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Nigeria.
