In a letter of appreciation to the governor, the association described the move as a milestone in labour relations and healthcare reform in the state.
The dated September 2, 2025, and jointly signed by Ishaku Yakubu and Christiana Bawa, state chairman and secretary respectfully of NANNM expressed deep appreciation for what it described as a “singular act of magnanimity and fairness” by the governor.
According to the association, the decision has “rekindled the hope of many dedicated nurses” and reaffirmed the administration’s alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The Governor has not only demonstrated a genuine commitment to the welfare of nurses and health workers but has also reaffirmed his passion for strengthening healthcare delivery in our dear state,” the letter reads.
The union noted that the implementation of CONHESS and CONMESS, despite the state’s competing fiscal obligations, underscores Governor Sani’s prioritisation of human capital and public sector productivity.
“This visionary leadership has boosted morale, improved productivity, and positioned Kaduna State as a model of labour-friendly governance,” the statement added.
The nurses and midwives pledged continued loyalty, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
