President Tinubu announced the initiative on Thursday during the official inauguration at the State House. He praised the rigorous selection process and the fellows’ dedication.
“Your selection is more than just recruitment. It reflects our commitment to building a nation where every Nigerian has equal opportunities, regardless of social status, gender, or creed. You are this country’s greatest asset, and we are dedicated to fostering a future where Nigeria stands as a nation of pride,” Tinubu stated.
Prof. Mohammed Ali Pate, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, emphasized the initiative’s impact. “The movement to improve Nigerians’ health has begun, and we are already seeing positive results,” he said.
Employing 774 National Health Fellows is a major step toward strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare system and empowering its youth. This initiative supports the administration’s strategy for sustainable development and a healthier future.
As the program progresses, its success will shape Nigeria’s healthcare landscape, improving accessibility, efficiency, and innovation in the sector.
