President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of National Health Fellows Programme, with young Nigerians, to be engaged in all the 774 local government areas in the country.

This, aƧcording to Presidedent Tinubu, is in furtherance of his determination to upgrade existing primary healthcare centres and construct over 8,800 primary healthcare centres across the local government areas in the country for accessible health care delivery with provision of new social accountability mechanisms.

He explained that the well trained Fellows will serve as fiduciary agents to monitor and track Primary Healthcare Centre development and performance, which is to be measured against all financial inflows to the centres nationwide.

Presidedent Tinubu, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale explained that the Fellowship programme would be domiciled in the Sector Wide Approach (SWA) coordination office under the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.

Tinubu, who is the African Union champion for Human Resources in Health Care, places faith in young Nigerians, and expects that their engagements in the critical nation building task, which also includes a daily monitoring and tracking of health reforms in their locations, will usher in a new era of World-class service provision to all Nigerians in every part of the country.
