The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), through its Health Services and Environment Secretariat, has inaugurated the FCT National Health Fellows Selection Committee.
The initiative aligns with the federal government’s efforts to recruit health fellows nationwide.
In January 2025, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had approved and established the National Health Fellows Programme.
This programme aims to engage young Nigerian fellows across all 774 local government areas under a sector-wide approach.
