The Kwara State Hospitals Management Board (KW-HMB) has welcomed the approval and adoption by the Kwara State Government of the enhanced entry point for the Nursing Officer Cadre in the State Civil Service.
The Executive Secretary of the Board, Dr Abdulraheem Malik, welcomed the development in his office while reacting to the approval by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, in line with the resolution of the National Council on Establishments (NCE) to raise the entry grade level for qualified Nursing Officers from Salary Grade Level 09 to Grade Level 10.
Dr Malik described the approval as a significant milestone for the nursing profession and the healthcare system in Kwara State, noting that it appropriately recognises the academic and professional requirements associated with the Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) qualification, including the mandatory internship, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, and registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).
