The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the passage followed a motion moved by the Assembly majority leader, Alhaji Garba Bello (PDP- Yabo) and the adoption of the House Committee on Education report to that effect.
Alhaji Aminu Bala, (PDP- Bodinga South), the chairman of the committee, who presented the recommendations of the committee, said the bill sought to establish a new college of nursing science in the state.
“The reason is not far from the fact that there is the need to bridge the gap that exists as a result of the shortage of the required manpower in the state hospitals, especially in nursing-related fields.
“It is pertinent to note that the College of Nursing Science, Sokoto, cannot provide the needed manpower required in the state.
“This was largely due to the limited number of students allocated to every college in a year by the regulatory council,” he said.
