The Federal Government has announced there is less number of nurses practising in the country’s public healthcare sector.

The FG said that it was worried about the migration of nurses in the country to other oversees which has brought more responsibilities facing the public healthcare sector in the country.

Dr. Faruk Abubakar, the Registrar of Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, speaking at the matriculation ceremony of Merit College of Nursing Sciences, Orlu, Imo state, explained that instead of the needed number of 800, 000 nurses to visit healthcare issues in the country, the public healthcare sector had less than 400,000 nurses.

He said;
“There is a brain drain in the nursing sector. We need about 800, 000 nurses to take care of the challenges in our public healthcare sector but unfortunately, we have less than 400, 000 nurses. But the good news is that the migration of our nurses to abroad is an indication that our nurses are to be reckoned with globally.”

Abubakar also commended the proprietor of Merit College of Nursing Sciences, Orlu, Dr. Chika Ugbaja for establishing the institution to raise people who would help to tackle the challenges confronting the nation’s public healthcare sector.

Again, he said;
“I commend Dr. Chika Ugbaja, for establishing this school in Nigeria after many years of practice in the United States. Merit College of Nursing Sciences, Orlu, will raise quality nurses and midwives.”

The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Prosper Obinna further affirmed that the state government supported the College’s quest to solve the healthcare needs of its people.

The bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Rev’d Augustine asserted that the institution’s healthcare needs of the people of the state would be lessened this way.
