The Oyo State government has approved the issuance of appointment letters to 116 key staff members across various cadres, aimed at addressing critical academic vacancies at the Oyo State College of Nursing and Midwifery, Eleyele, Ibadan.
It also approved substantive positions for four principal officers, including the registrar, librarian, bursar, and director of works.
The developments were disclosed by the provost of Oyo State College of Nursing, Dr. Gbonjubola Owolabi, on Thursday, during a donation of furniture by the 1976-79 set of the college.
The approved cadres, according to the provost, include legal advisors, senior lecturers, sickbay nurses, GNS lecturers, and administrative officers.
Others are higher executive officers, higher store officers, assistant executive officers, computer analysts, higher technical officers, motor drivers, craftsmen, and clerical officers.
Owolabi lauded Governor Seyi Makinde’s unwavering support for the college in all ramifications, adding that the furniture would go a long way, given the increased number of students in the college.
She also announced that the college received full accreditation from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria for key programmes, following the September/October 2024 accreditation.
She said, ‘The College of Nursing and Midwifery, Eleyele, Ibadan, is progressing steadily, notably through its development of an online student clearance platform, which eliminates the need for physical presence during clearance processes’.
Speaking on behalf of the set, also known as Set X, Elder Emmanuel Kunle Oladejo applauded the college’s provost for the giant strides recorded.
He urged the provost and other principal officers to work towards realising the dream of making the college a degree-awarding institution.
Oladejo also urged the students to work hard for excellence, and take a cue from others who have excelled in their chosen careers.
