Abba Moro sponsors bill to establish Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo Teaching Hospital
The Senate Minority Leader and Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District, Comrade Abba Moro (PhD), has sponsored a bill seeking the establishment of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO) Teaching Hospital.
Titled “University Teaching Hospitals (Reconstitution of Boards, etc.) Act (Amendment) Bill, 2025”, the proposed legislation passed its First Reading on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday.
The bill aims to amend the existing University Teaching Hospitals Act to include the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, thereby paving the way for the creation of a fully functional teaching hospital affiliated with the institution.
It would be recalled that Senator Moro had earlier sponsored the bill establishing FUHSO, which received presidential assent from former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022.
The new bill seeks to complement that milestone by providing the university with a dedicated teaching hospital to enhance medical training, research, and healthcare delivery.
