TETFUND POURS 100 BILLION NAIRA INTO MEDICAL TRAINING

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) has disbursed over 100 billion naira to selected tertiary institutions across Nigeria to strengthen medical education and address the shortage of healthcare professionals.

As part of the initiative, three institutions in each geopolitical zone received 4 billion naira each to expand infrastructure and training capacity in medical sciences. The intervention aims to increase the number of trained doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health workers in the country.

The project is part of the Federal Government’s efforts to curb brain drain in the healthcare sector. TETFUND has also deployed monitoring teams to ensure proper use of the funds.
