Earlier this year, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR @officialABAT, we launched the National Health Fellows Program #NHF, a bold step towards building the next generation of healthcare leaders in Nigeria. From over 360,000 applications nationwide, 774 outstanding young Nigerians were meritoriously selected, and their collective impact has been remarkable across the 774 Local Government Areas @AlgonNationalHQ in Nigeria.
Applications for the second cohort of the National Health Fellowship Program will open on 1 November 2025 and close on 30 November 2025. I call on all passionate young Nigerians across various disciplines to take this opportunity.

After six months of rigorous synchronous and asynchronous learning and community engagement under the close supervision of their mentors, the National Health Fellows are now attempting to apply their skills to community-focused problem-solving with very open minds.
During the #HealthFellowsShowOfHands3, we experienced a live showcase of extraordinary efforts by young men and women from different communities.
WATCH and LISTEN to the reflections of Dr. @Muyi_Aina, Dr. @MuntaqaSadiq, and the Coordinating Minister Prof. @muhammadpate, to the showcase.

Today, we join the world in wishing Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate a happy birthday in the spirit of what matters most to him as he steers one of the most consequential health reforms of our time.
Earlier this week, at the National Health Financing Dialogue in Abuja, speakers from across the globe reminded Nigeria not to miss this moment. The country is benefiting from the leadership of a President whose agenda places healthcare at the center, and from his choice of a Coordinating Minister who fully grasps the enormity of the task.
"Within four months, at the behest of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Pate brought every governor and seventeen development partners into one Compact at the Presidential Villa. At the core lay a Sector-Wide approach (SWAp) hinged on one plan, one budget, one report and one conversation, which for the first time placed Nigeria’s health system under a unified framework for alignment, resource convergence and accountability – on a path to amplifying impact on population health outcomes."
As this coordination takes root, we remain grateful for the privilege of observing the reforms up close. Please join us in wishing Prof. @muhammadpate a happy birthday and many more years of strength and resounding health.
We also leave you with this insightful article by @MuntaqaSadiq & @ChineduMoghalu... a phenomenal reflection on the journey underway.

Drug Abuse Prevention: Beyond Campaigns and Slogans
“Say No to Drugs” creates awareness — not change
That’s why I launched the LULU program in Kaduna South a global evidence-based life skills curriculum by @UNODC, supported by @KadbusaNG
@RayyanHussein@healthfellowsng#SB19
@UNODC@RayyanHussein@healthfellowsng Drug abuse is not just a crime — it’s a public health crisis.
Through LULU, we aim to:
✨ Prevent at-risk youth from drug use
✨ Reduce crime & violence
✨ Strengthen families & communities
This is more than a project — it’s a mission to save lives.
#EvidenceBasedPrevention
@healthfellowsng@MuntaqaSadiq@muhammadpate@ubasanius@RayyanHussein@bakarelawal Now, I’m leading a 3-phase intervention for healthier, safer communities in Kaduna South
1️⃣ Line Up Live Up (LULU) – sports + life skills vs drugs & crime
2️⃣ Health Banners – PHCs with key health messages
3️⃣ Community & Online Health Lectures – experts engaging families
@UNODC Using their passion for sports, we will teach life skills — resilience, self-control, decision-making — to protect them from drugs, crime & violence.
This is not football — it’s prevention with proven impact.
@ubasanius@RayyanHussein@UN_Nigeria@WHONigeria@NDLEA_Nigeria
Drug abuse is destroying young lives — prevention is the answer.
Today, 20th August 2025, we successfully completed a Refresher Training for 3 community coaches on the Line Up Live Up (LULU) program, developed by @UNODC and supported by
@KadbusaNG.
