The Ahmadu Bello University and ICSA contributed grants to enable expensive and urgent modification of buildings and the purchase medical equipment in the Hospitals, in order to upgrade them to a level of teaching hospitals.

During the period between 1968 and 1975, the Institute of Health was administered by a board of governors, with representatives from the six northern states and the Ahmadu Bello University vice chancellor serves as chairman. The director of the Institute of Health serves as the chief administrative and academic head. The staffs of the Institute who where then seconded from ICSA became staff of the University.

As at that time, the Institute of Health was the only Teaching Hospital in the country that was been administered by medical director. Professor Umaru Shehu was the first Nigerian director of the Institute of Health (1968-1976). Thus the first stage (1967-1975) was the period when the Institute of Health was a constituent of and administered by Ahmadu Bello University.
