Oluremi Tinubu unveils kidney disease clinic, health-tech academy in Jigawa

June 30, 2026

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Monday launched a new health centre and academy in Hadejia, Jigawa State, to promote early detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease.

The clinic, built and fully equipped by the FutureMap Foundation and eHealth Africa, is located on Garun Gabas Road in Hadejia and was named the Oluremi Tinubu Clinic in honour of the First Lady’s commitment to underserved communities.

The second project, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Academy, was established by the Federal Government through the National Information Technology Development Agency.

The initiative comes weeks after President Bola Tinubu established the National Health Technology and Data Analytics Office.

Speaking during the inauguration of the clinic and academy in Hadejia, Senator Tinubu commended the partnership behind the projects.

“These facilities are dedicated to the early detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease, especially for our vulnerable people,” she said.

The First Lady said her passion was to uplift underserved communities.

“I am grateful to FutureMap Foundation and eHealth Africa for building and equipping this clinic in my name. Health is wealth, and prevention saves lives,” she stated.

She also praised the establishment of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Academy under NITDA.

“This academy will train our youths and health workers to use technology to solve health challenges. The two centres will work together to protect families from chronic kidney disease,” Senator Tinubu said.

She added that the clinic and academy would complement each other in developing solutions for the early detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease.

Earlier, the Director-General of NITDA, Kashiful Inuwa, described the academy as a milestone in health innovation.

“The academy was established by the Federal Government through NITDA to drive research, data and technology for healthcare,” he said.

He explained that the academy and the clinic were designed to function as a joint platform.

“Together, they will develop digital tools and early warning systems for chronic kidney disease so communities can detect and respond early,” Inuwa said.

He noted that the projects coincided with the establishment of the National Health Technology and Data Analytics Office.

“With the President’s creation of the National Health Technology and Data Analytics Office last week, Jigawa is now positioned to lead in health technology solutions for Nigerians,” he added.

Governor Umar Namadi, in his remarks, commended the First Lady for the clinic, academy and the launch of the National Community Food Bank Programme.

“We thank Her Excellency and our partners for bringing healthcare and technology closer to our people,” he said.

Speaking on the National Community Food Bank Programme for the North-West, which was also launched in Jigawa, the governor described the initiative as a major milestone for the state.

“Today marks another step in our fight against food insecurity and malnutrition,” he said.

During her one-day official visit, the First Lady inaugurated several landmark projects executed by the Jigawa State and Federal Governments in the Hadejia Emirate.

The visit ended with renewed commitments by the Federal and Jigawa State governments to deepen collaboration on healthcare, food security and social protection, with the new clinic and academy expected to play key roles in improving the lives of vulnerable Nigerians.

How do we build lasting impact? By bringing the right people together around the right ideas.

The commissioning of the Academy and Clinic in Hadejia was more than the launch of two institutions, it was the culmination of months of strategic engagement with government, academia, traditional institutions, development partners, healthcare professionals, and Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem.

From evidence-driven planning and community consultations to engagement with Bayero University Kano and partnerships with @NITDANigeria , @EHAClinics, @NphcdaNG , Google Developer Groups, the Innovation Support Network, and the Hadejia Emirate, Federal Government of Nigeria, and state government this initiative demonstrates that sustainable development is built through collaboration.

Together, we’re advancing healthcare, innovation, youth empowerment, and human capital development, we are building a model that works for everyone.

Wait for Peter Obi and his supporter to complain about this

But who deletes the main post, pictures, and videos from a thread?
Has that been a constant trend recently?

How do we relate to what is happening?
If it is of any concern, then it shouldn't be on the front page.
It should be taken down entirely.

Nice one from Madam Green

The market noise is nothing as it can never distract the progress of Nigeria

Ahead ahead Nigeria

Isobug:
Progress or the decline of Nigeria. Ehhh, which Progress. All these political jobbers.

Now, You should ask yourself, as she established these two places, is anyone complaining? Nobody will complain if something like this is done and across Nigeria oo, not just where she intends to get votes from for her husband. This is encouraged and should cut across all sections of the country

The Akara, Kulikuli statement was indeed blown out of proportion. Anyone who listens to the entire clip and still continue in that path is just being mischievous.

This is commendable. Beneficiaries will applaud it and appreciate it.

Imagine the nonsense talk, so after the election, they will demolish the project right

Stable inflation, stable exchange rate, an environment within which people can come and invest and thereby increase production and further grow the economy; Improve and create jobs and reduce poverty.

She stressed: “In Mr. President’s manifesto during his campaigns, he promised 50 million jobs and that’s our target. We will take it in phases; we are looking at different sectors of the economy that will contribute to this job creation chief among them is the creative industry and the digital economy, and then the agric sector, agro-processing zones, and mining, oil and gas.
