"SONMIAA” is an Alumni Association for all the former
students and graduates of School of Nursing & Midwifery
Ihiala, Anambra State. We are a separately incorporated
entity but collectively known as the Constituent Unit
representing the parent organization of all School of
Nursing and Midwifery Ihiala local alumni clubs,
school-based alumni associations and professional alumni
associations. SONMIAA has become a central point of contact
for all registered members through the establishment of a
membership register and maintenance of its website.
SONMIAA has been in existence since 2016. We became
incorporated with the Nigerian Cooperate Affairs Commission
Act 2004, as a non-Governmental Organization in 2020.
We create an atmosphere of community where every
member or ex-student feels happily at home and feels a sense
of belonging.
SONMIAA recognizes our Alma
Mater as an institution of academic excellence dedicated to
promoting and
maintaining an environment that encourages their graduate
nurse students’
collaboration with the school.
We are committed to the advancement of membership
collaboration through the formulation of strategies that
foster charity
engagements, volunteerism, and provide mentorship support to
the students of our
parent institution.
SONMIAA gives back to society by providing nursing
professional trainings materials, donation of equipment’s to

also aim to support
updating our graduate nurses’ IT skills to meet and close
the required global
skill gaps of modern-day nursing.
