Description
Olatunji Alao Abiodun and colleagues surveyed psychiatric residency training across Nigeria in 2026, where fewer than 300 psychiatrists serve over 234 million people. Strengthening training is urgent, yet no systematic picture of program structure or rule compliance existed.
Twenty-nine of 30 accredited institutions replied, with a median 20 years of accreditation, 30 psychiatric beds, and seven trainers per center, though details in the full survey point to uneven resources. Health planners gain a baseline for fixing the pipeline that must supply Nigeria's mental-health workforce for a country where specialist numbers cannot meet demand in the years ahead.
