Consilium

I started Consilium three years ago because I had things to say about health policy and health finance in Nigeria and no structured place to say them. It began as a writing outlet — a way to think through ideas in public. Over time, the questions got bigger and the work got more serious. Writing became research, research became analysis, and analysis became a platform.

We have done primary survey research through hcw25.consilium.ng on the migration and compensation interests of Nigerian healthcare workers — one of the more detailed looks at what is actually driving the brain drain conversation. We have analyzed healthcare funding across Nigeria and the US using WHO data, mapping the structural gaps. Right now, we are producing a report on mobilizing private capital into Nigerian healthcare, anchored in the recent US-Nigeria Health Cooperation Framework MOU. The thread across all of it is the same: taking the questions that matter to Nigerian health systems and doing the rigorous work to answer them.

Consilium has moved from a newsletter to a functioning health intelligence platform — producing research that sits at the intersection of policy, capital, and the everyday reality of healthcare delivery in Nigeria. Over 100 subscribers and growing. What started as a writing outlet has become something with a real readership and a clear identity.
