All Roar and No Bite: Exposing Nigeria’s Paper Tiger Election LawsDeluge of Death: Flood leaves Nigerian community in ruinsHow Ukraine’s Superhuman Centre is helping war heroes walk againPate’s legacy, built on mentorship, system reform, and a dedication to saving lives, will continue to shape health outcomes and inspire future generations of health leaders.
Pate’s national leadership journey began with his tenure as chief executive officer of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency from 2008 to 2011. He confronted a fragmented primary healthcare system in Nigeria, where inadequate management structures hampered service delivery. True to the Nigerian proverb that says,Pate understood that for reforms to succeed, they had to be systemic and well-coordinated.
SOML embraced this idea by introducing performance-based accountability measures and mobilising over $1 billion in financing from both public and private sectors. By tying financial incentives to measurable health outcomes, Pate not only saved lives but built a system where success was sustained by collective responsibility. Like a doctor encouraging patients to monitor their health, Pate encouraged the health system to check its pulse and stay accountable.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pate’s expertise was called upon once again. As leader of the World Bank’s global health response, he oversaw an $18 billion support package, helping countries navigate the crisis, while reinforcing long-term health infrastructure. This period tested not only emergency preparedness but also leadership in times of crisis.
Pate’s work with the Chigari Foundation, a non-governmental organisation focused on community engagement and primary healthcare mobilisation, further highlights his grassroots leadership.says the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:2. This verse mirrors Pate’s approach to building community-driven healthcare, where cooperation and collective responsibility are central to success.
