There is no doubt that Crescent University, Abeokuta, has positioned itself as one of Nigeria's leading centres of excellence in nursing education. The Department of Nursing, domiciled in the College of Health Sciences of Crescent University, is a centre of academic excellence, professional ethics and premium training. The department is readily producing nurses equipped to meet the healthcare challenges of the twenty-first century.
One of the most remarkable achievements of the department is its outstanding record in professional examinations. The Crescent University Department of Nursing has recorded a 100 percent in Registered Nurse (RN), Registered Midwife (RM)and Registered Public Health Nurse (RPHN) examinations six consecutive times. These feats were not achieved by flukes.They are a manifestation of deliberate efforts of classic faculty members.
The full accreditation of Crescent University Nursing Department by both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria is a testimonial to the quality control by the institution's academic planning. The mantra of the vice chancellor, Prof. Ibraheem Gbajabiamila is compliance with the regulatory bodies
Beyond examination success, Crescent University nursing students continue to demonstrate excellence in intellectual and professional competitions. A notable example is the department's victory in the 2025 Florence Nightingale Essay and Speech Contest, where Crescent University students emerged winners. This accomplishment highlights not only their academic strength but also their communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and commitment to the ideals of the nursing profession. Such achievements contribute to the growing prestige of the department both within and beyond Ogun State.
The department also places significant premium on practical learning. Students benefit from access to untramodern laboratories, simulation facilities, and clinical training environments that mirror real-life healthcare settings. Through hands-on experience and monitored clinicals, our nursing students build the confidence and get exposed to the total nursing care.
At the heart of this success story is the leadership provided by the Head of Department, Dr Shafiu Ademola and the academic team. Under his tenacious leadership, the Nursing programme has flourished in reputation and influence, in less than a decadent of existence, attracting quality students from the length and breadth of Nigeria and beyond.This was practically made possible with collaborative efforts of erudite facility members, clinical instructors, and expert administrators who have created an enabling environment.
As the global healthcare continues to seek top-notch nurses in the healthcare system, Crescent University stands tall as a worthy destination for aspiring nursing professionals. The department's superlative professional examination record, accreditation status, students' achievements, modern facilities, and visionary leadership of the Proprietor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Prince Ma'ruf Adesegun Ajibola SAN, collectively position it among the country's leading nursing faculties. For students seeking quality education, professional competence, and strong moral values, Crescent University's Department of Nursing offers an opportunity to join a top-tier programme dedicated to shaping the future of healthcare in Nigeria and beyond.
