Salem University Lokoja has received approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to offer eight new courses, a major milestone in the institution’s growth and development.
This announcement was made by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Alewo Johnson-Akubo, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja.
The new courses will begin in the 2024/2025 academic session and include key programs in the health and technology sectors. These courses are:
- Nursing
- Anatomy
- Physiology
- Medical Laboratory Science
- Public Health
- Software Engineering
- Cybersecurity
- Data Science
What This Means for Students
With the addition of these programs, Salem University is positioning itself as a top institution for aspiring health professionals and tech experts.
Prof. Johnson-Akubo expressed his excitement over the approval, highlighting that it opens new opportunities for Nigerian youths to pursue in-demand careers.
He noted, “Salem University Lokoja is growing and expanding by the day, and the approval of these courses by the NUC is a welcome development that will propel us to greater heights.”
Tackling the Shortage of Health Professionals
The Vice-Chancellor also pointed out the increasing demand for health professionals in Nigeria, exacerbated by the “Japa” syndrome, where many health workers seek employment overseas.
The new health-related programs, such as Nursing and Public Health, are expected to address this gap by producing qualified personnel to serve in Nigeria and beyond.
Salem University’s Expanding Advancements
This latest approval comes on the heels of recent NUC approvals for Salem University to offer Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs and other postgraduate courses in Law, Accounting, Criminology, Security Studies, Business Administration, and more.
These advancements align with the university’s mission to raise change agents who are intellectually developed and equipped to transform society.
Conclusion
As Salem University continues to expand, now is the perfect time to join its thriving academic community.
Whether you’re passionate about healthcare or technology, the university’s newly approved courses will provide the foundation you need to succeed.
