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 the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
