One of the landmark achievements, he said, is the approval granted for the mobilization of the College’s graduates for the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme. He described the development as a historic milestone for the institution, coming nearly four decades after its establishment.

The Provost assured staff, students, and stakeholders that his administration would continue to implement policies that promote academic excellence, institutional development, and quality training for health professionals.
He reaffirmed his determination to ensure that the College of Health Sciences and Technology, Idah, remains one of the most sought-after institutions for the training of public and community health professionals in Nigeria.
