Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, on Saturday, approved ‘automatic’ employment to the best graduating students, out of the 35 who received their practising licence from Nafisatu College of Nursing Sciences in Madobi Local Government Area, founded by the state’s ex-governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Yusuf made the promise at the presentation of practising licences to 35 graduates of the college by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, on Saturday.
Represented by his deputy, Aminu Abdulsalam, the governor, said, “We are happy to be associated with the success story of the college, being the first private Nursing College in Northern Nigeria.
“Those with the best results will have automatic employment in our health facilities.”
Also, Governor Yusuf commended Kwankwaso for investing hugely in education.
“There are other several colleges built by Kwankwaso. That is why he has added to his title, Mr. Education; and you cannot take it away from him.
“We are proud to be associated, with you (Kwankwaso). We are proud to be associated, with the Kwankwassiyya ideology. We pray that God will keep blessing you with the wisdom and ability to keep showing us the way. And we thank you for adding value to our endeavours.”
In his remarks, Kwankwaso who is also the National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, expressed satisfaction at the performances of the students and the success recorded by the management of the college, established in 2019.
He said, “I thank God for the opportunity to perform this historic event. I congratulate all the students, who have collected their practising license today.
“I commend the Provost and members of the staff of the institution for maintaining the standard. I encourage the students, staff and management of the college to keep moving. I am happy to see the graduates, as qualified practising nurses graduating from this college here in the Kwankwaso community.”
In her vote of thanks, the Provost of the college, Halima Muhammad Yunusa, appealed to the state government and well-to-do individuals, including corporate organisations to grant scholarships to brilliant, but poor students, who have expressed willingness to study in the college.
