The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a private firm marking a major stride towards enhancing the capacity of the nation’s Biomedical Engineering Schools.

This initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to revitalizing the health sector, and making it a pivotal player in human capital development.


The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Tunji Alausa, described the Memorandum of Understanding as a deliberate and strategic response to the challenges facing biomedical engineering in Nigeria.


The Memorandum of Understanding aims to train engineers at five key Biomedical Engineering Schools across Nigeria in Enugu, Maiduguri, Edo, Zaria, and Lagos ensuring they are equipped to meet the growing demands of the healthcare sector.
