PCN Raises Novena University’s Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) Admission Quota to 120
Novena University, Ogume, Delta State, has secured a major boost for its healthcare training capacity following the approval by the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) to increase the admission quota for its Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) programme to 120 students.
The approval, conveyed in a letter signed by the Registrar of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria, Pharm. Ibrahim B. Ahmed, followed a comprehensive verification and monitoring exercise carried out by the Council at the university’s Faculty of Pharmacy.
As the statutory regulator of pharmacy education in Nigeria, the Council said the decision was based on its satisfaction with the remarkable improvements recorded in the faculty’s physical infrastructure, teaching facilities and human resources.
The increased quota is expected to expand access to pharmacy education for aspiring students while supporting the Federal Government’s drive to strengthen the training of healthcare professionals across the country.
The development further reinforces Novena University’s growing reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading private institutions for medical and health sciences education.
