The Lagos State Primary Health Care Board (LSPHCB) has commenced a comprehensive onboarding programme for newly recruited health workers under the HOPE–PHC Project.
The exercise began on Friday, February 13, 2026, at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Hall, Alausa, Ikeja, and will conclude on Monday, February 16, 2026.
Eko Hot News reports that the onboarding brought together newly engaged healthcare personnel deployed to Primary Health Care Centres (PHCs) across Lagos State.
The initiative is part of efforts to strengthen service delivery at the grassroots and improve access to quality healthcare.
Speaking at the event, the Permanent Secretary of LSPHCB, Dr Ibrahim Akinwunmi Mustafa, said the programme reflects the Lagos State Government’s commitment to reinforcing the primary healthcare system through strategic manpower investment.
He noted that competent staffing remains central to achieving universal health coverage.
Dr Mustafa explained that the Human Capital Opportunity for Prosperity and Equity – Primary Healthcare (HOPE–PHC) Project is designed to drive human capital development through structured capacity building, improved infrastructure, and enhanced healthcare services.
He urged the newly recruited officers to uphold professionalism, integrity, and dedication in their duties. According to him, frontline health workers represent the government and must demonstrate compassion, accountability, and strict adherence to Public Service Rules.
Participants received training on key areas, including an overview of LSPHCB operations, public service regulations, professional ethics, workplace conduct, and guidelines on further studies and conversion within the civil service.
The HOPE–PHC Project aligns with Lagos State’s broader health reform agenda focused on reducing maternal and child mortality and improving overall health outcomes. The onboarding marks a significant step toward building a resilient, efficient, and people-centred healthcare system across the state.
