She urged the staff of the Department to come up with recommendations aimed at reviewing the curriculum to accommodate the suggestions made by the team.

Earlier, the leader of the team, Professor (Mrs.) Priscilla Adejumo noted that with the facilities on ground, there was hope for the University to pass the resource verification; but added that the University needed to do more in order to scale through the hurdles of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria.

Prof. Adejumo also advised that the University should design the Nursing curriculum to accommodate SIWES and exchange programes that could expose the students.
