To operate health-related programmes, including nursing degrees, Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) will shortly open her School of Health Technology at its Epe Campus.
This was revealed by the rector of the top university, Engr. Ibraheem Abdul, while paying Lady Doja Otedola, the former first lady of Lagos state, a courtesy call yesterday at the Otedola family estate in Odo Irangushi, Epe.
In order to advance the institution and the Epe community in general, Engr Abdul informed the matriarch of the Otedolas that his administration planned to establish three capital projects at the college’s Epe campus.
These projects include the School of Health Technology, the Centre for Open, Distance, and Flexible E-Learning, and an expansion of its Information Communication Technology (ICT) programmes.
This, he said, are in line with the new administration’s agenda of repackaging all academic and skills development programs of the college.
Dr. Abdul, who visited Lady Otedola for the first time since he assumed the duty as the Rector, thanked the Otedola’s family and entire Epe community for providing the land where its Epe campus resided free of charge and promised that the college will reciprocate the good gesture.
Earlier, Lady Otedola welcomed the Rector and his team to the Otedolas domain, and expressed her admiration for the man she was seeing for the first time.
She appealed to YABATECH to engage in developmental projects as a way of giving back to Epe community, and change the employment status of the indigene of Odo-Irangushin working in the College from temporary to permanent staff.
Lady Otedola explained that Education is very important to the people of Epe, and advised YABATECH to do the needful by encouraging the youth in Epe to embrace education, because they are the future leaders.
She thereby charged the management of YABATECH to do all they could to make Epe community happy.
