Tinubu becomes AU champion for Human Resources for Health and Community Health Delivery Partnership
President Bola Tinubu has been appointed as the African Union (AU) Champion for Human Resources for Health and Community Health Delivery Partnership.
President Tinubu earned the championship because of his commitment to train 120,000 health workers nationwide within 16 months. He was also recognized because of his promise 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 (Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention — Africa CDC) 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 CDC, under the leadership of President Azali Assoumani, President of the Union of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union.
In his new role, President Tinubu will address on Saturday the Ministerial Executive Leadership Programme (MELP). The event will take place at the Africa CDC Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
His address has the theme, 'Impactful leadership in health: a whole government approach.'
The MELP event comes on the sidelines of the 37th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of AU Heads of State and Government.
