She commended Governor Seyi Makinde for his continued support for the College, emphasizing that the newly donated furniture would greatly benefit students, especially given the institution’s growing population.
Dr. Owolabi also announced that the College recently earned full accreditation for its core programmes from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, following the September/October 2024 evaluation.
She highlighted other institutional advancements, including the development of an online student clearance platform, which now enables students to complete clearance procedures remotely, eliminating the need for physical presence.
