The wife of Alaafin of Oyo, Abiwumi Owoade, an alumna of the College, urged the graduates to be agents of change in society, challenging them to “set the pace, break barriers, and find solutions to things that hitherto had remained invisible, inaccessible, and unattainable in the rapidly changing world.” She further advised, “Be a trailblazer in this noble career path you have chosen. Set the pace and break barriers. A trailblazer is a leader who summons followership by the inspiration of his life and action.
The State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Salihu Adelabu, praised the institution for its role in training professionals and gifted hands in healthcare services, positioning Nigeria among its peers as a factor to reckon with.
