The commendation was contained in a letter jointly signed by the State Chairman, Ishaku Yakubu, and the State Secretary, Christiana Bawa, and addressed to the governor on Tuesday.

The association described the move as a significant act of fairness and magnanimity, which has restored the confidence of nurses and midwives in the current administration.

“This singular act of magnanimity and fairness has rekindled the hope of many dedicated nurses in your administration and in the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President,” the statement read.

According to NANNM, Governor Sani has demonstrated a genuine commitment to the welfare of nurses and other health workers, while reaffirming his passion for strengthening healthcare delivery systems in Kaduna State.

The council also acknowledged the governor’s decision to implement the salary structures despite the competing demands on the state’s limited resources.

“Yet, Your Excellency prioritised the well-being of health workers,” the letter noted.

NANNM further stated that the implementation of CONHESS and CONMESS has boosted the morale of health workers, improved productivity, and positioned Kaduna as a model for labour-friendly governance in Nigeria.

The group pledged continued loyalty, dedication, and professional service to the state as part of its contribution to the administration’s transformation agenda in the health sector.
