As affirmed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, this transformative move underscores President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to fostering robust human resources in the health and social welfare sectors.

The institution, now rechristened as the Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu, will operate under the purview of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, marking a significant stride in advancing healthcare education and training.

This strategic decision aligns with President Tinubu’s broader agenda as the African Union Champion for Human Resources for Health, which includes initiatives to train 120,000 frontline health workers within 16 months and to double the number of primary health facilities nationwide within the next three years.

The Presidency anticipates that this transformation will not only augment the pool of skilled health professionals but also contribute to the realization of Nigerians’ aspirations for accessible, affordable, and high-quality healthcare services across the nation.
