Speaking with Journalists in Kaduna A Dr. Yusuf Bello, who is the Provost of the college, the Panbegua campus has secured accreditation from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, thanks to the current administration’s commitment to completing critical infrastructure within the campus.
The campus is set to admit 120 students for the 2024/2025 academic session, offering National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programs in Nursing. The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has also approved the college to run general nursing and basic midwifery programs across all three campuses.

The commissioning of the Panbegua campus is expected to enhance healthcare education in Kaduna State and provide more opportunities for students to pursue careers in nursing and midwifery.
