President Bola Tinubu on Thursday granted automatic employment to 774 fellows of the national health programme.
Speaking at the presidential launch of the programme in Abuja, while addressing the young fellows tasked with monitoring Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across all 774 local government areas, Tinubu declared, “You are hired,” pledging employment after their one-year tenure.
“The Coordinating Minister and the champion of this program have requested approval and luckily the Minister of Finance is here also.
“This programme is designed to expose you to best practices and keep you of the knowledge and skill to transform the sector. Healthcare is a critical pillar of national development, no country can prosper if its people are unhealthy and unsustainable health programmes are a precise danger. Sustainable development is only possible with a strong healthcare system and you are the pillars.”
The fellows, selected from over 359,000 applicants, will monitor Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across all local governments.
This initiative, under the Renewed Hope Agenda, strengthens Nigeria’s healthcare system and affirms President Tinubu’s commitment to national development.
