“I am delighted with the consistent growth the Institution, which started as a School of Nursing, has recorded, that today, they are now a College of Nursing Sciences, producing well-trained nurses and midwives for our society.
“I am confident that my contribution to the College will go a long way in contributing to its growth. In these very challenging times in our nation, our educational and health institutions, which are at the center of our national development, deserve our support more than ever.
“This has informed my persistent call for more government funding to these critical institutions rather than investing our scarce resources in indulging our selfish excesses as leaders.
“More funding to these educational and health institutions will not only drive national development but will enable us to raise an educated and healthy population that will contribute immeasurably to moving our nation from consumption to production.
” I sincerely appreciate everyone whose effort, finance, and time have gone into making our education and health sectors better. Our efforts in building a better nation will surely give us the New Nigeria we all deserve. It is POssible,” he added.
