Acting Vice Chancellor Plateau State University, Bokkos Professor Shedrack Gaya Best says the University is poised to commence Nursing and Midwifery programmes as soon as the University is granted a clean bill of health by the regulating authority.
Professor Best was speaking when he played host to a team constituted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria to appraise both the human and material resources required for the take-off of the programmes.
Represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic, Professor Moses Galadima Pyefa, Professor Best said Plateau State University cannot wait to begin the programmes in view of benefits that would accrue to the state upon graduating students of the Faculty to the health needs of the people of the State.
Professor Best said though Plateau State University may not begin with all the required facilities, it has entered into partnership with the University of Jos which will serve as a buffer to its areas of need pending the gradual acquisition of such required facilities.
He said the University will accept in good faith all observations made and work towards remedying them.
He assured the Accreditation Panel of the full cooperation of the University of throwing wide open its doors to the resource verification team in all areas to be reviewed.
Leader of the team Doctor Abdulrahaman Mohammed, who is also Dean Faculty of Health Sciences, Usmanu Dan Fodio University Sokoto noted that their primary assignment is to assess the quality of facilities available for the take-off of the programmes and the quality of the work force that will drive the process in positioning the Departments towards achieving their mission.
The team was later received at the Library by the University Librarian, Associate Professor Allahde Shehu who took them round available facilities.
The team later ended up at Nursing and Midwifery sections of the Faculty for proper assessment before returning to make their observations to which appropriate responses were made.
