Sabulu made the call during the official opening ceremony of the Kwara State Nurses summit held at the NANNM headquarters in Ilorin.

He lamented that all attempts by NANNM and the council to make nursing university based as done in all the Health Professions usually met the brickwall. He regretted that admissions into schools of nursing had been politicised in the country.

Sabulu who said very little had been done to improve nursing education in the country urged the government to invest in the profession so that the nation can obtain the best from it.

He called for the support of the renaissance in nursing education which the nurses through the various agencies of government and the association are about to introduce.

He assured of the association’s support to the laudable programme of the Federal Government in the health sector such as the Health Sector Reform Programme, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and Policy on Injection Safety and Health Care Investors Management, among others.

He commended the Kwara State Government for its efforts to improve health care delivery system in the state at affordable rates.

Earlier in his welcome address, the state chairman of NANNM, Joel Afolayan said the summit was meant to compliment the efforts of the state government in re-engineering the health sector in the state, among other purposes.
