Tinubu Approves Conversion of Dalhatu Araf Hospital to Federal University Lafia Teaching Hospital
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given his approval for the takeover and transformation of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital in Lafia into the Federal University of Lafia Teaching Hospital, located in Nasarawa State.
This decision comes in response to a formal request from the Nasarawa State Government, as outlined in a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.
Ngelale noted that the conversion would not only enhance the academic and practical training of students in medical and allied health sciences but also significantly improve healthcare services across the state.
The statement further emphasized President Tinubu’s dedication to advancing the social welfare and healthcare security of all Nigerians.
It also highlighted the administration’s commitment to sustaining investment and reforms in the healthcare sector to improve access and quality.
This development follows a recent expression of concern by the Nasarawa State House of Assembly in November 2023 regarding the management of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital.
The Assembly raised issues about the hospital exceeding its approved budget under the leadership of Dr. Hassan Ikrama.
These concerns were voiced during an oversight visit to the state-owned hospital, where lawmakers scrutinized the hospital’s financial management and expressed dissatisfaction with its operations.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
