NANNM: Comr Pius Merigi Nathaniel lauds accreditation of Nursing courses in Taraba State University Jalingo.

Governor Agbu Kefas has been lauded for facilitating the accreditation of Nursing courses at the Taraba State University Jalingo by the National University Commission, NUC.

The Taraba State Chairman of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, NANNM Comr Pius Merigi Nathaniel made the commendation in an interview with our reporter in Jalingo.

Pius said the accreditation is a milestone that will go a long way in boosting the nursing profession in the state and beyond. He further revealed that with the recent development, Taraba State now has about four tertiary institutions accredited to train nurses.

The union leader also encouraged nurses in the state to further their studies for maximal performance in their profession and position themselves for productivity in the ever changing 21st century.

The Chairman, however, appealed to the Taraba State Government to look into the over seventy million Naira unremitted Association's dues which needs to be remited for the welfare purposes of their over two hundred retired nurses in the state.

He expressed the hope that Governor Agbu Kefas who has been prioritizing the welfare of workers in the state would equally address their plights.

The Chairman appreciated members of the association for their support of his leadership and reiterated his commitment to serve them better.
