Nigeria has announced plans to establish an Armed Forces Medical College to strengthen medical training and tackle the growing shortage of doctors nationwide.
The proposed institution forms part of renewed efforts to build domestic capacity in the health sector and reduce reliance on external training pathways.
Officials say the college will help close the widening gap in the availability of medical professionals, particularly within the armed forces and the broader public health system.
The initiative underscores the government’s push to expand access to quality medical education while addressing workforce shortages across the country.
