Approves recruitment of 50 nurses 

Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, commissioned three key projects in Gwoza Local Council Area in the Southern part of the state yesterday.
 
The commissioned projects included the state-of-the-art Gwoza College of Nursing and Midwifery, a new block of 20 modern teachers’ quarters, and 200 newly constructed lock-up shops at the Gwoza Main Market.
 
Zulum, who performed the commissioning ceremony, stated: “Today, we gather to consciously shift the narrative. We have gathered too many times to mourn, rebuild from ashes, and commemorate our losses. But today, we gather for a different reason, to invest in life.”
 
“We are here to commission an institution whose sole purpose is to preserve life, nurture it and celebrate it. We are here to officially open the doors of the Gwoza College of Nursing and Midwifery.
 
“In the years to come, when the history of our recovery and renaissance is written, let this day be remembered as a pivotal moment. Let it be said that in Gwoza, amid the echoes of a challenging past, we chose to build a process dedicated to life.”
   
Zulum commissioned 200 new market shops to revitalise local commerce. The shops will be allocated to traders and will provide a structured and secure environment for business.

This will boost the local economy and increase the government’s internally generated revenue.

 Meanwhile, Governor Zulum has approved the recruitment of 50 nurses at the General Hospital in Gwoza. He announced the approval yesterday when he paid homage to the Emir of Gwoza, Ideissa Shehu Timta, at his palace.
 
According to the governor, the recruitment became imperative to provide enough manpower at the General Hospital, which will serve as a reference centre for the students at a new nursing college.
