“Madonna College of Health trains health professionals who will contribute, in many ways, to a better health sector in the nation. With our health sector in Nigeria suffering from a severe shortage of health professionals, institutions like these that serve to bridge the gap by contributing immeasurably to the training of health professionals should be supported to do more.
“As I continue to support, in my way, the health and educational institutions across the country, I remain firm in my call for increased government funding in these critical sectors of health and education, in our nation.
“We must begin to prioritize the future of our nation by making such aggressive investments today in these critical sectors. I took time to encourage the students to look beyond their academic journey and see themselves as critical contributors to the development of our nation and change agents contributing to a better humanity.
“This, I believe, will help them make productive contributions to society. I appreciate the proprietor, the management, and the staff of the College for their good work. Together, we all will build the New Nigeria we all deserve. It is POssible,” he added.
