Legislative Update:
A Milestone Achieved!
May 8, 2025, marks a significant milestone in Hon. Dr. Patrick Umoh's legislative journey. He had the honor of leading the debate on the Bill for an Act to establish the Federal College of Nursing and Midwifery, Ikot Mboho, Akwa Ibom State.
This crucial Bill, HB.2085, seeks to provide formal training, research, and continuing education in general nursing, midwifery, and other specialties of nursing. Upon passage, the proposed college will award professional certificates, diplomas, degrees, and post-basic qualifications.
The impact of this Bill on our community cannot be overstated. The proposed college will address the shortage of skilled healthcare personnel, contribute to Nigeria's broader healthcare system, and open doors to employment and development opportunities in the region.
As the proud sponsor of this Bill, Hon. Dr. Patrick Umoh remains committed to seeing it through to its passage and implementation. He believes that this initiative will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our people.
We are grateful for Hon. Dr. Patrick Umoh's tireless efforts in representing Ikot Ekpene/Essien Udim/Obot Akara Federal Constituency. His dedication to serving our community is evident in his legislative work.
