The University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) in Borno State has named its newly constructed Medical ICT Institute after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The unveiling ceremony took place on Tuesday as part of activities marking the 110th General Meeting of Chief Medical Directors (CMDs) in Maiduguri, the state capital.
The event brought together key political figures and stakeholders from across Nigeria’s health sector.
While addressing attendees shortly before the unveiling, the Chief Medical Director of UMTH, Professor Ahmed Ahidjo, praised the Federal Government’s contributions to the development of the centre.
He described the new Medical ICT Institute as the first of its kind in Nigeria, with the potential to improve healthcare delivery and build capacity among medical professionals.
In his words:
“The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Muhammad Pate, has shown us that with commitment, much can be achieved.
We appreciate your focus and dedication.
As at now, I can say we are getting whatever we asked from the Federal Government.”
Professor Ahidjo added that the newly commissioned Medical ICT Centre was named after President Bola Tinubu as a mark of appreciation for the support his administration has shown to the hospital and the health sector in general.
He also mentioned that eight other completed projects, including roads, buildings, and medical facilities, have been named after various individuals who have made significant contributions to the growth and development of the hospital.
