The Lagos State College of Health Technology has pledged commitment to providing quality education, research, and community service to train middle and lower cadres health professionals.
The Provost of the College, Prof. Raheem Akewushola, gave the assurance at a management retreat of the institution, on Thursday in Lagos.
TheNewsZenith reports that the retreat theme is “Creating a Global Standard Learning Culture for Lagos State College of Health Technology”.
Akewushola said that the academic and non-academic staff of the college would need to position themselves on the global stage.
They must compete favourably with their counterparts across the world, he said.
“We should not be complacent by benchmarking ourselves solely against other health colleges in Nigeria.
“Collective effort is necessary to produce a highly-skilled workforce for primary and secondary health sector.
“The retreat is timely, considering the rapidly evolving teaching methodologies in health-related fields.
“The health sector requires regular reviews and alignment with global best practices to stay effective,” TheNewsZenith quotes Akewushola as saying.
