Gbajabiamila appreciates nurses, health workers (Video)

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has appreciated the sacrifices and commitment of Nigerian nurses towards the well-being of citizens as they mark the World Nurses Day.

"On this day, I want to join millions of our citizens to say happy International Nurses Day to all nurses around the world, particularly those in the frontline of the fight against COVID-19.

"Here at home, I appreciate our nurses, and I thank them for their commitment. I want to assure them all that we are with them at this trying time, and we shall give them the necessary support for us to win the fight against COVID-19," the Speaker said.

He explained that the importance of this year's theme for World Nurses Day, 'Nursing the World to Health,' is unique in the sense that it coincides with when the world is having one of its greatest battles with a novel virus.

Thus, the Speaker said, nurses and other health personnel in the frontline of fighting the bug should be encouraged and supported in whatever way possible.

He called on the house of Representative members to rise in a standing ovation.
