Who We Are
Our Story
On February 27, 2020, Nigeria confirmed its first case of the coronavirus. Promptly, the Government of Nigeria, led by the Federal Ministry of Health, initiated measures to contain and manage the outbreak. However, given the strain on the already overwhelmed healthcare systems and the country’s burgeoning population, it became evident that additional support was imperative to effectively combat the virus.
Thus, the Nigeria Solidarity Fund (NSSF) emerged. This collaborative effort between Global Citizen (GC) and the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) recognized the urgent need to address three key areas in response to COVID-19: assisting the most vulnerable, reinforcing healthcare systems, and equipping Nigerian youth for a transformed future.
Our board is firmly committed to the principle that quality and affordable healthcare services should be accessible to all. Moreover, we strongly advocate for empowering young Nigerians with opportunities for self-advancement and preparing them with the necessary skills for the post-COVID era. Additionally, we are dedicated to ensuring that the most vulnerable, disadvantaged, and marginalized groups in Nigeria receive the support they require, ensuring that no one is left behind in our collective pursuit of progress and resilience.
Who We Are
The Nigeria Solidarity Support Fund (NSSF) is a beacon of hope, a non-profit entity fervently dedicated to catalyzing profound change within the fabric of Nigerian society. With unwavering commitment, our mission transcends mere assistance; it embodies a passionate resolve to ignite a transformative journey, one that uplifts the lives of the vulnerable, strengthens the very foundation of healthcare systems, and empowers the Nigerian workforce through comprehensive reskilling initiatives.
At the core of our endeavors lies a deep-seated belief in the inherent dignity and potential of every Nigerian. We envision a future where vulnerability is met with unwavering support, where healthcare systems are fortified to withstand the most daunting challenges, and where every individual is equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.
