Kaduna Assembly Proposes Reversal of Nursing College Merger

The Kaduna State House of Assembly is deliberating on a motion to reverse the merger of three campuses of the Kaduna State College of Nursing and Midwifery. Sponsored by Hon. Ali Kalat, the motion was presented during a plenary session led by Deputy Speaker Hon. Magaji Henry Dajuma.

Kalat expressed concerns that the merger, initiated by the previous administration to enhance performance, has instead led to administrative difficulties and compromised training quality. He noted that the provost operates from the Tudun Wada campus, while the Kafanchan and Pambegua campuses are overseen by deputy provosts, resulting in communication gaps and management issues.

Kalat stated that operational funds often do not reach all campuses, hindering their ability to provide adequate facilities. He plans to introduce a bill by October 20 to repeal the merger and establish a legal framework for the campuses to operate independently, which he believes will improve management and strengthen nursing education in Kaduna State.
