Hold up – Dr. Aisha Shehu Adamu, Chief Medical Director of Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Jalingo, just got crowned Nigeria’s Best-Performing CMD of the Year by the Nigerian Youth Congress (NYC). This nationwide honor spotlights her powerhouse leadership that’s supercharging healthcare in Taraba State and beyond.
Since taking the helm in 2020 and earning re-appointment in 2024, Dr. Adamu has turned FMC Jalingo into a beacon of excellence under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Picture this: A state-of-the-art morgue unveiled, PCR and diagnostic labs fully renovated for top-notch testing, solar-powered boreholes ensuring reliable water, plus bold blueprints for cutting-edge Accident & Emergency and ICU units. She’s locked in partnerships for advanced equipment, boosted staff training and welfare, and skyrocketed patient satisfaction – proving women leaders are reshaping Nigeria’s health sector one milestone at a time.
NYC National President Engr. Jethro Annum called her a “visionary, people centered force,” pushing the Federal Ministry of Health to tap her for national and global gigs. The glitzy award ceremony drops later this year with big stakeholders, watch out for Dr. Adamu dominating the headlines!
