  "summary": "Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has signed an Executive Bill establishing the Kaduna State College of Post-Basic Nursing Sciences in Rigasa, located in the Igabi Local Government Area. According to Daily Post Nigeria, the bill was signed on Wednesday as part of the governor's health sector reforms to address shortages of specialist nurses and improve medical services.\n\nThe institution is intended to operate as a specialized tertiary training college with its main campus in Rigasa, though Daily Post Nigeria notes there are provisions for additional campuses and training centres subject to regulatory approval. Premium Times reports that the college will train specialists in fields including midwifery, paediatric care, and emergency medicine.\n\nDaily Post Nigeria reports that the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, stated the college aims to expand advanced nursing training and improve intensive care, maternal and child care, and emergency response services.
