Literature related to the topic were sourced from online documents i.e. Scopus. Zamfara  State security issue is not an exemption as a result of incessant attacks from bandits on students and educational facilities due to youth unemployment,  inadequate security personnel and weak security architecture leading to loss of innocent lives and properties. This leads to increase student’s dropout  during training ie low enrollment and graduation as the school is vulnerable to threats in form of abduction, kidnapping, rape, assaults etc. Health care educational training institution are the engine room for the supply of healthcare workforce in our various facilities at various health care service delivery  levels aimed at achieving the sustainable development on Education and Universal Health Coverage. In the advent of security threats to our health  training institutions, Parents and Guardians get discouraged to enroll their wards to study health disciplines thereby reducing the demanding needs of  health workers in the state thereby exposing the populace to the emerging, rampaging and dynamic infectious diseases. For the state health training  institutions to attain safety for sustainable academic performance, Government and Developing partners need to collaborate and direct resources for full  potentials of the state to be achieved for sustainable educational and Health development goals as elaborated in this paper.
