Defence Minister Praises Military Medical College's JAMB Listing
Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence, commended the listing of the Armed Forces College of Medicine and Health Sciences on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board portal, which allows for the institution's first intake of 100 cadets for the 2026/2027 academic session. This development integrates the tri-service military medical institution into Nigeria's tertiary admissions system, focusing on training doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals for the Armed Forces.
Matawalle described this as a significant milestone for the Ministry of Defence and a result of President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda. The college, located in Yaba, Lagos, will combine medical education with military training.
It has received approval from the National Universities Commission for its Medicine and Surgery and Nursing Science programmes. Matawalle emphasized the importance of addressing the Armed Forces' need for healthcare professionals to enhance military readiness.
He acknowledged contributions from various ministries and regulatory authorities and encouraged eligible young Nigerians to seek information on the admission process.
