Abstract
Health is and has always been pivotal to any meaningful development a nation can achieve. The policies and responsiveness of the government of any state as regards the health of its citizens is a major index for determining the seriousness of the government as regards development. Due to the towering influence of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, an off shoot of the 8th September, 2000 Millennium Declaration) - now replaced with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the health sector in Nigeria, any discuss which attempts an appraisal or as little as a highlight of the Government's response to health in Nigeria, must needs examine the health related goals of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
