Lawal employs 16 Zamfara nursing graduates from Sudan

The Zamfara State Government has employed 16 nursing graduates from Sudan, as part of its efforts to improve the state's healthcare system. The graduates, who recently completed their studies in nursing from various universities in Sudan, were employed by the state government through a special arrangement.

According to the state's Commissioner for Health, _Lawal Mafara_, the employment of the nursing graduates is part of the government's plan to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in the state. "We are committed to providing quality healthcare services to our citizens, and we believe that these graduates will play a crucial role in achieving this goal," he said.

The 16 nursing graduates, who are all indigenes of Zamfara State, were trained in Sudan under a special scholarship program sponsored by the state government. The program, which was initiated by the previous administration, aimed to provide opportunities for Zamfara State indigenes to acquire skills and knowledge in various fields, including healthcare.

The employed nurses will be deployed to various healthcare facilities across the state, including hospitals, clinics, and primary healthcare centers. They will work alongside other healthcare professionals to provide quality care to patients and help to improve the overall healthcare system in the state.

The employment of the nursing graduates is a demonstration of the Zamfara State Government's commitment to improving the state's healthcare system. The government has been working to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in the state, and the employment of these graduates is a major step towards achieving this goal.

In recent years, the state government has implemented various initiatives to improve the healthcare system, including the construction of new healthcare facilities, the renovation of existing ones, and the provision of equipment and supplies. The government has also been working to improve the welfare of healthcare professionals, including the payment of salaries and allowances, and the provision of training and development opportunities.


The employment of the nursing graduates has been welcomed by stakeholders in the state, including healthcare professionals, community leaders, and citizens. _Dr. Abdullahi Shinkafi_, a healthcare professional in the state, praised the government for its efforts to improve the healthcare system. "This is a welcome development, and we are grateful to the government for its commitment to providing quality healthcare services to our citizens," he said.

Alhaji Abubakar Moriki, a community leader in the state, also commended the government for its efforts to address the shortage of healthcare professionals. "We are pleased to see our children being employed in the healthcare sector, and we believe that they will make a positive impact in the state," he said

The employment of the 16 nursing graduates from Sudan is a major step towards improving the healthcare system in Zamfara State. The state government's commitment to providing quality healthcare services to its citizens is commendable, and we hope that this initiative will yield positive results. We also hope that the government will continue to work towards addressing the shortage of healthcare professionals in the state, and that more initiatives will be implemented to improve the overall healthcare system.
