In a celebration of dedication and excellence, Mandate Secretary, Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA)’s Health, Environment and Social Services Secretariat (HSES), Dr Adedolapo Fasawe, was recognized as a Silent Hero in Quality Health Delivery at the 7th edition of the 2025 Nigeria Silent Heroes Awards (NSHA).
The event took place at the Wells Carlton Hotel, Asokoro, Abuja,the nation’s capital.
A press statement from the Secretariat said Dr. Fasawe, a medical doctor with a strong background in public health, is known for combining clinical expertise with administrative skill.
”Her work has consistently focused on improving health outcomes, promoting community well-being, and supporting environmentally sound public policies,” it stated.
The Silent Heroes Awards is held annually to honor individuals from various sectors whose valuable contributions often go unnoticed. This year’s ceremony celebrated 41 Nigerians from fields such as health, education, security, technology, media, entrepreneurship, and public service — all of whom have made quiet but meaningful impacts in their communities.
In her acceptance speech, Dr. Fasawe expressed appreciation to the organisers.
She said: ”I am always excited to receive awards like this because they reflect the work we are doing under the Renewed Hope Agenda, even if it’s not always fully seen by the public. I can also confirm that I didn’t pay for this award, which makes it even more special.
”Moreover, this award is dedicated to all my diligent staff who have supported me and faithfully carried out their duties to ensure better health care delivery.”
