Nigeria is set to host a globally recognized “Science of Defeating Malaria” course in June 2026.
The course, anchored by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, brings together health leaders, scientists, policymakers, and malaria programme managers from around the world to share cutting-edge knowledge and strengthen capacity for malaria control and elimination.
Earlier today, the Director of Public Health, Dr. Godwin Ntadom; the National Coordinator, National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), Dr. Nnenna Ogbulafor; and other management staff of the NMEP together with partners from the Redeemer’s University and Harvard University gave a brief on the course to the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate.
The visit to the Hon. Minister was part of activities initiating joint planning between NMEP with Redeemer’s University and other stakeholders for effective coordination and delivery of the course.
