Sir,

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ELECTION AS THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF NANNM

The national Leadership of University Graduates of Nursing Science Association (UGONSA), the professional association of nurses with a minimum educational qualification of first degree in nursing, on behalf of all her members, congratulates you on your election and subsequent inauguration as the National President of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), in the recent NANNM National Delegate Congress Election held between 28th - 29th of January 2020.

        2.   You are not new to the age-long and emerging problems bedeviling our dear profession, which have earned us the tag of a “sleeping giant” for obviously not rising to the challenges and trends of the contemporary period in relation to our counterpart in other nations of the world and in other healthcare disciplines in Nigeria.

     3.  We have no doubt that your previous surf through various waves of nursing leadership has acquainted you with the necessary capacity and competence to put our house in order and reposition NANNM National to be responsive and dynamic as the current situation demands.  

     4.  Because our strength lies in our unity and a house divided against itself is bound to fail, we advise that at this budding period of your tenure that you quickly look into and address the genuine demands of the “Aggrieved NANNM Members” which principally centres on outrageous deductions in the guise of Checkoff dues (CODs) and unite the house for a more prosperous future.

      5.   As an association, we pledge you our unalloyed support and cooperation in any endeavour that gears toward adding positive perspectives to the fortunes of our dear profession.

We pray that the grace of the Almighty God abound for you and your team as we look forward to a cordial cooperation with your regime in pursuing and promoting progressive agenda for the profession

Signed:

    CHIEF (HON.) S.E.O. EGWUENU                                         NURSE P.O. ETENG
