Adeyemo said the Federal Government had increased the admission quota into the schools.

“The school of nursing sciences that usually take about 80 to 90 students before now takes 150 and above,” he said.

Olawuyi disclosed that over 4,000 students applied for nursing, but only 144 students were given admission.

She reminded the students that the school has zero tolerance for examination malpractices, drug abuse and fighting.

The Acting Registrar and Head, Schools Administration Department, Adebowale Nejo, reiterated the need for the students to be focused and refrain from acts that were against the ethics and conducts of the schools.

On behalf of the students, Akinboyewa Moses, a student from the College of Nursing Sciences, appreciated the school management and their parents for being the backbone behind their academic success.
