Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital and various Health Centers in
Awka South Local Government Area, have provided students with invaluable
clinical experience, further enhancing their professional competence and
preparing them for the challenges of the healthcare landscape. And this has
also unarguably given the students a competitive edge in the field.
These unparalleled successes of

While many factors and
individuals are responsible for this progressive strides of the Millennium

success stories of the institution.
This is in consideration of her
visionary leadership, unwavering dedication, and unparalleled commitment to

education. Under her leadership, the College also aspires to continue charting
new paths, breaking barriers, and redefining the landscape of nursing education
in Nigeria and the world at large.
