PREAMBLE
We, the undersigned citizens of Ekiti State and stakeholders in Nigeria’s healthcare sector, hereby petition against the illegal training and employment of auxiliary nurses by private hospitals and clinics in Ekiti State.
This practice is unethical, unlawful, and dangerous to public health. It diminishes the image of professional nursing, fosters unemployment among registered nurses, and puts countless lives at risk.
GROUNDS OF PETITION
1. Public Health Dangers
Auxiliary nurses are not professionally trained or licensed. Their activities have led to several health injuries, including:
* Injection abscesses due to poor techniques.
* Drug overdoses and wrong prescriptions.
* Illegal abortions resulting in infertility, complications, and death.
* Unsafe and unprofessional treatments that deteriorate patients’ health.
2. Reference to Lagos State Ban
The Lagos State Government has recently banned auxiliary nursing, acknowledging the life-threatening risks it poses. Ekiti State must urgently adopt the same approach to safeguard its citizens.
3. Impact on the Nursing Profession
* The presence of auxiliary nurses destroys the public image of nursing, creating mistrust toward licensed professionals.
* It fuels modern slavery, as hospitals exploit quacks with meager wages.
*. It worsens unemployment among registered nurses, who are denied legitimate job opportunities.
OUR DEMANDS
We respectfully call on:
* The Government of Ekiti State to immediately ban the training and employment of auxiliary nurses in all private and public facilities.
* The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) to enforce stricter monitoring and clamp down on quackery.
* Private hospitals to stop exploiting untrained individuals and instead employ qualified, registered nurses.
* Law enforcement agencies to prosecute hospitals and individuals involved in this illegal practice.
CONCLUSION
Healthcare is a sacred trust. Ekiti State citizens deserve safe, professional, and ethical care delivered only by qualified, licensed nurses. We urge the government and stakeholders to take urgent action to abolish auxiliary nursing in Ekiti State.
Together, let us protect lives, restore trust in nursing, and uphold the dignity of healthcare in our state

It is untenable for any government to trade the quality of health of the citizens for cheap labour in attempt to maximise profit, thus lowering the standard of care by training and employment of Quacks called "Auxillary" health Worker rather than professional Government-trained Nurses. WHOEVER IS NOT GOVERNMENT-CERTIFICATED AS A NURSE CAN NEVER RENDER PROFESSIONAL NURSING SERVICE.
The Auxiliary Nurses is very common in the rural area of Ekiti and they have been committing a lot of harm than good to the public health of the rural dwellers. It will be great if the state government can equip the health centers and health posts without the communities with skills health personnel and also create a public enlightenment on the dangers of unskilled health workers services in the community.
Nursing is a noble profession. The quacks that practise and parade as nurses should be banned in all establishments because there is no shortcut to success and they do more harm than good to our society. The government should stop putting the lives of the people at risk by allowing them to practice. Many innocent lives have been cut short and some are still battling their lives while some are living with the disabilities that these quacks brought upon them. Everyone who wants to practise as a nurse should go and obtain a jamb form and pick nursing as her chosen profession, then undergo a standardized training in school and be registered with the nurses governing body. With this, people's lives will be safe and Nigerians will live long and be more productive. We say No to Quackery!
The way they practice is totally unethical. The have no knowledge about infection control at all
We have enough unemployed registered nurse in the state and in the country so it is wickedness to start training or employing auxiliary nurse.
This will seriously affect the quality of care
Say no to auxiliary Nurse.

They should halt the training of Axillary nurses because they are basterdazing the standard of nursing profession they only know good aspect of the conduct not trained to know the complications. People training Axillary nurses can never watch their profession to be ruined and be keeping quiet. Majority of people became leaping just because of their negligence, strating placental, swabbing babies not to mention a few is their attitude and public will be tagging it to professional nurses. Please it has to be stopped anyone that has the interest of nursing should go to school. Thank you.
