NBTE accredits Orthopaedic Hospital’s college


as 96 nurses, health assistants graduate
National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi Lagos, NOHIL has been awarded interim accreditation for its Federal College of Orthopaedic Technology, FECOT, by the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE even as the Hospital graduated 96 students from its Schools of Post Basic Nurses and Orthopaedic Health Assistant.
Announcing the feat at a joint convocation ceremony in Lagos, the Medical Director, Dr. Olurotimi  Odunubi who described the accreditation as a dream come true said the school is now a full-fledged polytechnic.
Odunubi added that the school will now serve as a department in FECOT, award Ordinary and Higher National Diploma. The medical Director also explained that the students can also progress to Masters Degree and PHDS and can rise to any level in the medical academic world.
He however regretted that for new set of students for 2015\2016, they would have to face the challenge of coming in through Joint Administration and Matriculation Board, JAMB. Explaining why the accreditation became necessary, he said over 65 percent of orthopaedic specialists passed through the tertiary institution.
“We must keep increasing standards. The institution was set up to provide services, research and training and we must strive to fulfil these responsibilities.”
Also commenting on the joint graduation, he noted that the two schools of basic nurses are very important schools as the country is still lacking in the specialities – Accident and Emergency nursing as well as orthopaedic nursing.

The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
