PRESIDENT TINUBU AU CHAMPION

President Bola Tinubu has been appointed as the African Union Champion for Human Resources for Health and Community Health Delivery Partnership.

This is in recognition of President Tinubu's commitment to train 120,000 frontline health workers in Nigeria and to double the number of primary health facilities in communities across all local government areas of the federation from 8,800 to over 17,000 over the next three years.

The Commission of the African Union in a letter to Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said President Tinubu was appointed on the recommendation of the Committee of Heads of State and Government of Africa, under the leadership of President Azali Assoumani, President of the Union of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union.

the Commission subsequently invited President Tinubu to address the Ministerial Executive Leadership Program under the theme, 'Impactful leadership in health: a whole government approach', billed for Saturday the 17th of February.
