    President Bola Tinubu has appointed six Chief Medical Directors for Federal Government-owned hospitals in Akure, Gombe, Azare, Lafia, Maiduguri and Kafanchan.

    Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Friday titled ‘President Tinubu appoints six chief medical directors for federal hospitals.’

    The newly appointed CMDs include Prof. Olusegun Ojo who has been appointed Chief Medical Director of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Akure, Ondo State.

    The presidency described Ojo as a “seasoned medical professional who previously served as the pioneer Chief Medical Director of the Ondo State Specialist Hospital.”

    Prof. Yusuf Abdullahi was reappointed as the Chief Medical Director of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe, “following an outstanding performance during his first term,” the statement read.

    “His reappointment underscores his exceptional leadership and contributions to the hospital’s growth,” said Onanuga.

    Tinubu also confirmed the Acting Chief Medical Director of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Azare, Bauchi State, Dr. Dauda Katagum, as the substantive CMD.

    Dr. Ikrama Hassan was appointed as the Chief Medical Director of the newly upgraded Federal Teaching Hospital in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

    A consultant physician, Hassan previously served as the Medical Director of the Dalhatu Ibrahim Arab Specialist Hospital before its elevation to a teaching hospital.

    Meanwhile, the President appointed Dr. Ali Ramat, a Consultant Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon, as the Chief Medical Director of the newly established National Orthopedic Hospital in Maiduguri, Borno State.

    Dr Haruna Shehu, a Consultant Family Physician, was also appointed Chief Medical Director of the newly established Federal Medical Centre, Kafanchan, Kaduna State.

    “All appointments are for four years, effective from the respective dates of assumption of office,” Onanuga said.

    While Abdullahi’s second and final term as CMD of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe, commenced on September 5, 2024, Katagum’s tenure as CMD of the Federal University of Health Sciences Teaching Hospital, Azare, Bauchi State, took effect from December 6, 2024.

    The President congratulated the newly appointed and reappointed Chief Medical Directors, urging them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and service delivery in their respective roles.

    He also reiterated his administration’s commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure and ensuring all Nigerians have access to quality medical services.
