FETHI Nurses Commission Five-Unit Apartment as CMD Announces Approval of Promotion Letters
The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido-Ekiti (FETHI) Branch, on Monday, November 2, 2026, commissioned a five-unit apartment to ease accommodation challenges among nurses, generate revenue for the association and promote its long-term sustainability.
The event, held at the NANNM building, opposite the Medical and Health Workers' Union (MHWUN) building, attracted members of the hospital management, union leaders and staff across various departments and associations.
The Chief Medical Director, Prof. Kolawole Ogundipe, who commissioned the building, commended the nurses for the initiative, describing them as wonderful, intelligent and dedicated professionals. He attributed the successful completion of the project to the peaceful atmosphere in the hospital and expressed gratitude to God for the development.
In a major announcement, the CMD disclosed that he had received the approval of 2026 promotion from the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, signed on Monday, assuring staff that their letters would be released shortly. He added that the exercise had also addressed the appropriate alignment of staff designations, describing the development as another reason for celebration.
Earlier, the Director of Nursing Services, Mrs Olubunmi Adeniji, PhD, commended the NANNM leadership for its prudence and commitment to the project. She, however, emphasised the importance of financial accountability, noting that the association's account would remain subject to scrutiny. She urged leaders to remain transparent and responsible, stressing that accountability to the people they lead and to God must guide their actions.
In her address, the NANNM Chairman, Mrs Ajayi Folaranmi, explained that the project, initiated by the previous executive, was completed by the current administration as part of its commitment to moving the association from consumption to productive investment. She said the facility would particularly benefit newly employed nurses and interns posted to FETHI from distant locations, while serving as a source of internally generated revenue (IGR) for the association.
She appreciated nurses employed between 2023 and 2026 for contributing ₦36,000 each towards completing the project, alongside the executive members, building committee and past and present hospital management for their support. She also appealed to the CMD to facilitate the relocation of the hospital's incinerator over concerns about its potential environmental and health implications for the surrounding creche, vendors and other occupants.
Those present included the Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC), Dr Olabisi Adeyemo; Deputy CMAC (Special Duties), Dr Femi Adewumi; Head of Internal Audit, Mrs Feyisayo Aladetuyi; Head of Information and Corporate Affairs, Mr Isaac Anifowose; Head of Procurement, Mr Seyi Olatimehin; Head of Administrative Staff, CMD's Office, Mr Olusola Oloniyo; and Chairman, MHWUN, Comr.
