Jigawa State School of Midwifery

[1] The school is located in Birnin Kuddu town, 47 KM from Dutse, the State Capital.

[2] The school was created in March 2010 and founded by Aisha Moh’d Kazaure, who is a midwife and a teacher, because of the low number of midwives in the state of Jigawa.

The funding came from the British Department for International Development which recognized that, while there are five million people who live in the state, there are less than 30 midwives.

Students are typically female and in their early twenties[3] despite that 80% of health workers are male.

In 2015, Jigawa State said that it intended to set up another School of Midwifery at Hadejia.
