The Bishop of Ahiara Catholic Diocese, His Lordship, Most Rev Simeon Okezuo Nwobi has announced the approval and accreditation of the establishment of Mater Ecclessiae College of Nursing Sciences as well as Mater Ecclessiae College of Allied Health Sciences.
The approval, he said, was secured from the federal government, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria and Public Health and Epidemology Practitioners of Nigeria after fulfilling the necessary requirements.
Briefing newsmen at the weekend, the Catholic cleric said, with the development, admission forms would be on sale at the Mbaise Catholic Secretariat this week in preparation for full academic activities in the two colleges and that admission would be open to everybody on merit and that there would be no quota system.
He disclosed that prospective students could gain admission with JAMB cut-off mark of 150 in the Nursing College and 140 in the Allied Health College, adding that the target of the diocese was to make sure that the two colleges are known for modern medical and health practices in the country.
He commended those who worked round the clock to make the dream a reality, especially an experienced nursing professional and engineer, Mrs Kelechi Anaele from the area.
Also commenting on the approval of the colleges, the Director of Media in the Diocese, Rev. Fr. Jude Thaddeus Osondu, hoped that the establishment of the colleges would boost entrepreneurial skills in the students with modern facilities already on ground, such as hostels for both male and female, administrative block, auditorium, e-library, science laboratories, sports centre among others.
