The Board of Directors of the Centre for Integrated Health Programmes (CIHP) Nigeria, a leading pro-health Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has appointed one of Nigeria’s foremost advertising practitioners, ‘Lolu Akinwunmi, as chairman of its Board of Directors.
Akinwunmi takes over from Muhammed Imam Yahaya, who recently retired after many meritorious years as a member and chairman of the board.
The CIHP, while commending Yahaya for the significant progress made by the organisation under his leadership, expressed optimism that Akinwunmi would bring his years of experience in marketing communication and nation-building to steer the organisation to new heights of accomplishments. Akinwunmi, prior to his appointment, had been on the board of CIHP for many years.
The CIHP evolved from the Multi-Country Columbia Antiretroviral Programme (MCAP) of the Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, New York, and is a leading not-for-profit organisation promoting better health outcomes for all Nigerians through the creation of sustainable systems and partnerships.
CIHP comprises a team of committed professionals using their collective learnings and experiences, innovativeness and passion for excellence to deliver equitable, quality, cost-effective and integrated health interventions through sustainable partnerships with funding support from PEPFAR/U.S. Government through US CDC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among others.
The organisation is focused on transforming lives for improved health and development outcomes across Nigeria.
