NPHCDA to establish academy – Executive Director

The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) says it will establish a Leadership Development Academy to be affiliated to world-class universities.

The Executive Director of NPHCDA, Dr Faisal Shuaib, made this known during the inauguration of its Technical Support Programme (TSP) on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to him, the fellowship was completely different from the fellowship that was awarded by the National Postgraduate College of Public Health.

“This is a three to four months programme, but at the end of three or six months programme the participants are fellows in public health.

“What we are looking for is the collaboration between the agency and academic institutions; we want to deepen such collaborations.
