Gregory University Uturu Produces Over 100 Globally Qualified Medical Practitioners Into The Workforce

Gregory University Uturu (GUU) is proud to announce that, within the span of one month, we have inducted over 100 individuals in the fields of Medical and Health Sciences, who are worthy in both character and skills through the successful hosting of Medical Doctors’ and Nurses’ induction ceremonies.

On June 4, we held our 3rd Medical Doctors’ Induction Ceremony, and on June 25, 2025, we hosted the 1st Nursing Induction Ceremony, celebrating our pioneer set of 21 graduate nurses.

During the Nursing Induction, The Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, Alhaji Ndagi Alhassan, represented by Mrs. Eleanor Chinwe Nwaka, administered the Oath to the inductees. In his speech, the Registrar commended the university for its commitment to excellence and applauded the dedication of its lecturers. He encouraged the new nurses to seize available opportunities and be worthy ambassadors of the nursing profession.

During the ceremony, the Founder/Proprietor, Prof. Gregory Ibe, and the Chancellor, Mr. Gregory Okechukwu Ibe (Jnr), expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the entire Gregory University community and the external public and congratulated the pioneer graduate nurses for their resilience, hard work, and determination.

Prof. Ibe, represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Uwaoma Uche, urged the newly inducted nurses and midwives to uphold best practices in their profession, and take into cognizance the line of the university’s anthem that states: “In every quest, we still remain the best.”

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Cele Njoku, represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), Prof. Regina Ogali, urged the graduate Nurses to become advocates and leaders within the healthcare field, and become excellent caregivers.

In her address, the Head of the Nursing Department, A’Prof. Chinyere Nwufo, acknowledged the efforts of college members and university management. She also appealed to the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria to increase GUU’s admission quota from 50 to 150, emphasizing the university’s capacity and capability to train a larger number of nurses.

Agaptus Nichole, the Best Graduating Nurse and multiple award recipient, delivered the valedictory speech on behalf of her fellow inductees. She expressed gratitude to all who contributed to their success, stating: “We are not just nurses. We are healers, advocates, and change-makers. We are destined to leave a footprint wherever we go.”

Gregory University Uturu continues to set the pace in the medical profession, consistently raising the bar; a tradition clearly reflected in the two successful induction ceremonies held in the month of June.

At the event were the Pro-Chancellor of GUU, Prof. Augustine Uwakwe, Director of Academic Planning, GUU, A’Prof Elijah Efetobor various College Deans, Lecturers, and some members of the Nursing and Mid-wifery Council of Nigeria.
