The College organized an orientation course for its 2024 intakes with a number of 283, being the highest in the history of the institution.
Peter Mbah Governor of Enugu State explained his administration’s huge investments and many inventions leading to the upgrade and accreditation of the Enugu State College of Nursing Sciences.
Dr Yomi, who was at the grand finale of the 2024 set orientation program held at ESUT Auditorium, Park Lane, Enugu over the weekend who is representing Gov Mbah and also a Special Adviser to Gov Mbah on Health Matters, said that the upgrade of the institute to a collegial status would add massively to his vision to transform the health sector of the state and make Enugu State a health tourism hub. Dr Yomi said ….
“We have put many things up to ensure that this school attains a collegial status. We have our National Board for Technical Education accreditation, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board accreditation, Federal Ministry of Health accreditation, and of course the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria accreditation.
“What this means is that we can play at a very big level, giving each student here a degree that fully covers Nursing, Midwifery, Public Health and Higher National Diploma once they graduate.
“We are working hard to ensure that this college is unique because we rely on you for our numerous healthcare facilities in the state. Therefore, you need to put in your best so that you can represent your school in any environment you may find yourselves tomorrow,” Mbah said. Speaking earlier Dr Peace Ani Acting Provost of the college, thanked the Enugu state governor for the work he is doing in the college, noting that many structures were currently ongoing both in the Enugu and Awgu campus simultaneously.
“Today, I am so happy because this is an epoch making event where we welcomed the new set of 2024 students that will start their programmes in Nursing.
This journey started in August when we received accreditation from the NBTE and Nursing Council.
“We started this orientation where the students were given an overview of the courses they would undertake for the next four years.
They were taught by different kinds of people whom we invited to come and integrate them on what it takes to be a nurse,”
