“Governor Sanwo-Olu pledged the government’s sincerity in the implementation of all that was agreed on, to the delight of the representatives of the nurses.”
According to the statement, the Chairman of the Lagos State Council of the Nigerian Association of Nurses and Midwives, Olurotimi Awojide, thanked Governor Sanwo-Olu for acceding to most of their requests.
