Autonomy: Oyo Assembly Lawmaker, Waliu Salami Makes Case For Sch’l Of Midwifery, Kisi.
Oyo state Assembly has appealed to the state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, to grant the State School of Midwifery, Kisi, full autonomy for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness.
This followed a motion on the need to consider and graciously approve Oyo state school of Basic Midwifery, Kisi, as an autonomous and Full Fledge Institution, presented by lawmaker representing Irepo/Olorunsogo state constituency, Hon. Waliu Salami
Hon Salami who is the minority leader of the 10th assembly in the motion explained that available facilities and infrastructures at the institution in Kisi is enough to justify the call to grant the school the required full autonomy.
The APC lawmaker disclosed that since inception, the College has trained millions of qualified nurses and midwes in Nigeria to fill the medical personnel gaps experienced in the health sector.
“The school trained midwives students of Oyo State College of Nursing and Midwifery with qualified personnel. It is therefore justifiable that with the presence of the facilites and infrastructure on ground, the School of Basic Midwifery, Kisi has what it takes to be an autonomous and full-fledged medical institution.” Hon. Salami said.
After further deliberation on the motion, the House urged the executive arm of government through the Ministry of Health and Oyo State School of Nursing, Eleyele, Ibadan, to put necessary machineries in place for the metamorphosis of Oyo State School of Basic Midwifery, Kisi into an autonomous and full-fledged medical institution.
