Healthcare condition in Nigeria needs a
great deal of attention as the mortality rate has been on the increase even before the pandemic. Integrating a progressive nursing transformational leadership will play a significant positive role to enable transformational nursing leaders become
catalysts to expand a holistic perspective that empowers nursing professionals at all levels, and maximizes the use of the most recent technology in the movement beyond evidence-based and patient centred health care to patient-directed outcomes.
