The approval followed a comprehensive assessment by the Council’s visitation team, which evaluated the institution’s curriculum, facilities, and staffing to ensure compliance with national standards.
Speaking after the exercise, the Council’s representative, Agbumart Igbokwe, expressed satisfaction with the college’s adherence to regulatory requirements, noting that the programme meets strict benchmarks for safety, quality, and professional training.
She emphasized that the accreditation reflects the Council’s commitment to producing competent pharmacy technicians equipped for real-world healthcare delivery, while also urging the institution to sustain high standards in staffing and infrastructure.
In separate remarks, zonal and state officials of the Council commended the college’s management for meeting the rigorous criteria, encouraging them to maintain consistency in quality delivery.
Earlier, Chairman of the Governing Board, Abdulkadir Sanusi Karofi, described the accreditation as a testament to the institution’s preparedness and dedication to excellence, noting that all necessary requirements had been fulfilled prior to the request.
The milestone is expected to strengthen healthcare manpower development in the region, as the college moves to train a new generation of qualified pharmacy technicians ready to serve across Nigeria.
