Empowers over 400 Displaced traders
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, has launched a multi-million naira, 14-day free medical outreach in Plateau state to provide accessible healthcare services to thousands of residents across the state.
The initiative is a collaborative effort between Sharing Hope International Medical Mission, USA, and Sharing Hope Care and Foundation Nigeria, supported by the APC National Chairman as part of his commitment to improving healthcare delivery and promoting humanitarian development.
Prof. Nentawe, accompanied by former Deputy Senate President Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Idris Wase, former Senator representing Plateau North Istifanus Dung Gyang, and the Chief Medical Director of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), Dr. Pokop Wushipba Bupwatda, among others, received members of the 31-man U.S.-based medical team at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos.
He officially inaugurated the outreach on Monday, October 6, 2025, at JUTH.
Speaking at the event, Prof. Nentawe said the programme aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes the health and social well-being of Nigerians.
“This medical mission reflects our collective resolve to make quality healthcare accessible, especially to the less privileged. We must thank the Sharing Hope International Medical Mission for supporting this initiative. Already, we’ve attended to over 400 people, and now we are receiving essential medical equipment and experts from the U.S., France, and Canada to deepen the impact,” he said.
The APC National Chairman explained that the outreach will deliver a wide range of medical services, including consultations, surgeries, dental and eye care, gynecological and pediatric treatment, and the distribution of essential medicines, all at no cost to beneficiaries.
He further noted that beyond treatment, the outreach would focus on capacity building for local health professionals.
“Our goal is not just to perform surgeries and leave, but to strengthen the capacity of Nigerian doctors, nurses, and health workers through hands-on training that will have a lasting impact,” he added.
Nentawe Yilwatda, also empowered displaced women traders in Plateau State with ₦50 million in business grants under the Renewed Hope for GenerationNext Empowerment Program.
The empowerment event, held at the Millennial International Event Centre, Jos, saw ₦20 million disbursed as direct cash grants to individual women traders, while ₦30 million was allocated to cooperative groups to enhance collective growth, business stability, and long-term resilience.
Beneficiaries expressed excitement and gratitude to Prof. Nentawe for his continued commitment to uplifting the less privileged and supporting women’s economic independence.
In his remarks, Prof. Nentawe reaffirmed his dedication to restoring livelihoods, reducing poverty, and empowering women and youth across Plateau State, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
