FG set to establish postgraduate
college for Nurses in Nigeria
The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives
has urged the Federal Government to establish a national
post graduate college for nurses in order to enhance the
training of high-level manpower in the profession.
The National President of NANNM, Mr. Abdrafiu Adeniji,
said this in Osogbo on Sunday during a briefing at the end
of the sixth Quadrennial National Delegate Conference of
the association.
Adeniji said that the establishment of the college would
impact positively on the quality of health delivery in the
country, adding that government should expedite action
on the establishment of the school.
He said, “Our association has requested the
establishment of the school we call the National Post
Graduate College of Nursing.
“We have made the request to the Federal Ministry of
Health and the idea has been accepted. It has been
referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria
for consideration and appropriate processing.

“If the college is established, the manpower and human
resources development needed for health and nursing will
be complemented and upgraded to a better status.”
He said the association would ensure the implementation
of the approval given to graduates of nursing sciences for
internship.
He also urged the government to provide adequate
equipment and infrastructure in health institutions to
ensure the proper training of nurses and midwives.
Adeniji said, “Lack of infrastructure and working tools in
the health sector should be addressed because almost all
the health institutions in the country lack adequate
infrastructural and functional equipment. The implication
is that qualified health professionals do not have the
necessary equipment to work with.
“We implore the government not to pay lip service to the
development of our health institutions but ensure that our
institutions are adequately equipped and that health
professionals manning them especially nurses.
