In a press release, the Kaduna State Council of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) praised the governor’s leadership in prioritizing their welfare despite competing budget demands. [1]

⁠“Your Excellency’s action has rekindled hope for many dedicated nurses,” the statement read, commending the decision as an act of “fairness and magnanimity.” [1]   

They further asserted that the policy is already boosting morale, improving productivity, and positioning Kaduna as a model of labour‑friendly governance. [1]

Healthcare workers also pledged continued loyalty and professional excellence, calling on the state government to ensure effective implementation and timely payments.
The implementation of CONHESS and hazard allowance comes as Kaduna also prepares to fill staffing gaps and upgrade health facilities—a move seen as part of a broader strategy to reverse brain drain and strengthen the health system.
