The conversion of Shehu Idris College of Health Science and Technology, Pambegua campus, to College of Nursing and Midwifery, is a dream come true. In 2017, the executive governor, Malam Nasiru El-Rufai directed the students of the campus to move or relocate to the Makarfi main campus. However, out of passion to improve health care delivery in the state, the governor promised to build a befitting college of Nursing and Midwifery in Pambegua. To match his words with action, the governor awarded contracts for the fencing and building of new edifice structures. The structure will include, among others; classes and administrative blocks. Interestingly, these necessary structures have been put in place to pave the way for the immediate take off of the college and the commencement of lectures. The Pambegua new campus, along side Kaduna and Kafanchan, will admit new students for the 2020 academic session. This is cheering news! The development came barely two weeks after the executive governor launched 1000 Damau farm milk project in Kubau Local Government. The project is expected to provide good qualitative milk, reduce import dependence, and create employment opportunities to our teeming youths. I could not hide my happiness for the good projects initiated and executed by the Kaduna State Government in Kubau. Historically, since the restoration of democracy, the good people of Kubau Local Government have never had it so good as during the present administration. The local government has been enjoying the dividends of democracy in various aspects of human development. That is why, when the news filtered the air that the college will commence admission this year, I became overwhelmed with joy. The school, if becomes operational, will produce and provide adequate trained nurses to man our newly built hospitals across the state and the country at large.
The college is strategically located in Pambegua to balance the geographical spread of the school. Each of the three zones has College of Nursing and Midwifery. Besides, other neighbouring states like Plateau and Bauchi will benefit from the college because of its proximity. I would like to use this medium once again to express my appreciation to Malam Nasiru El-Rufai for making the Pambegua College of Nursing and midwifery a reality.
