 GOV. ALIA SIGNS BILL ESTABLISHING LABE COLLEGE OF NURSING SCIENCES IN GBOKO 




Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia has signed into law a bill establishing the Labe College of Nursing Sciences in Gboko, marking what observers describe as a significant stride in strengthening Benue State’s healthcare and educational sectors.


The signing, which took place on Wednesday, signals a renewed push by the Alia administration to expand access to quality health training and bridge the manpower gap in the state’s medical workforce.


Governor Alia said the establishment of the college goes beyond academics, describing it as a long-term investment in the health and prosperity of Benue people.


According to him, the institution will provide specialised training for nurses and midwives, thereby boosting the local healthcare workforce and improving service delivery across communities, especially in underserved rural areas.


He noted that increasing the number of well-trained health professionals would help improve patient care standards and contribute to efforts aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality rates in the state.


The governor also pointed out the broader economic impact of the new college, stating that tertiary institutions often stimulate local economies through job creation, business growth and infrastructure development.


Beyond clinical services, Alia said graduates of the institution would be equipped to champion public health campaigns, promote preventive healthcare and support community-based initiatives.


Describing the development as a milestone in his administration’s vision for a healthier Benue, the governor called on stakeholders, including community leaders and the Catholic Diocese of Gboko, to embrace the initiative.


He reiterated that a healthy population remains central to sustainable development and pledged continued investment in education and healthcare.
