The enabling policy environment fostered by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has been credited for the outstanding performance of Dr. Adedolapo Fasawe, Mandate Secretary for Health Services and Environment, who recently received three prestigious awards within a month.
Dr. Fasawe was recognised for her significant contributions to healthcare delivery, environmental management, and climate action in the FCT.
Speaking during one of the award ceremonies, she attributed her achievements to the operational freedom and institutional backing provided under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, noting that the support has empowered her office to implement impactful initiatives across sectors.
“The enabling environment created by the FCT Minister has allowed Mandate Secretaries like myself to innovate, implement, and deliver real change,” she said.

In a statement by her Media Adviser, Bola Ajao, the Mandate Secretary’s first recognition came from the Pest Control Association of Nigeria, which named her the “Amazon of Environmental Health” during its annual conference in Lagos, in recognition of her contributions to environmental health and pest control management.
She was later honoured as a “Silent Hero in Healthcare Delivery” at the 7th Nigeria Silent Heroes Awards (NSHA) in Abuja, for her low-profile but high-impact role in improving health systems and access to care across the FCT.
The final award came from Obafemi Awolowo University (formerly University of Ife), her alma mater, where she was presented with an Award of Excellence in Climate Action during the 2025 International Conference of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
The award reflected her work in mainstreaming climate resilience into public health planning.
Collectively, the awards highlight Dr. Fasawe’s ability to align policy with practice, driving reforms at the intersection of health, environment, and climate governance.
