On October 22, 2026, President Tinubu was conferred a fellowship by the West African College of Physicians at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, acknowledging his administration's dedication to healthcare reform, medical development, and infrastructure expansion. The recognition was presented by Dr Mamadou Mourtala Ka, the College President, alongside other officials including Dr Sonny Kuku and Dr Benjamin Uzochukwu.
