This was decided at the 43rd meeting of the council held in Abuja between January 24 and 28.

A copy of the communique issued after the meeting reads, “(The council) approved the review of the entry grade level of graduate Nurses from SGL 09 (CONHESS 08) to SGL10 (CONHESS 09),” a copy of the communique issued after the meeting stated.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and Chairman of Council, Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan and the Permanent Secretary of the Office of Head of Service of the Federation, Dr. Emmanuel Meribole co-signed the communique.

Speaking with our correspondent on Saturday, the President of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, Mike Nnachi, commended the development, saying it is an appropriate grading.

“It is a good one for the students and even for us. That’s what we have been fighting for and we are happy,” he said.
