The Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences is set to release its very first batch of double-qualified Nurses & Midwives in 2025, and what a glorious debut! The students have recorded an outstanding 100% pass rate in both the Nursing and Midwifery Council examinations this year, a feat very few institutions in Nigeria have ever achieved in such record time.

This landmark success reflects the grace of God, the excellence of ECU’s Nursing & Midwifery programme, and the tireless commitment of the Nursing & Midwifery Council, University Foundation, Governing organs, Technical Consultant-led team, HoD, faculty members, and of course, our resilient students.

Odogwu has done it again! Through divine help, visionary leadership, and dedicated teaching, the ECU Nursing Programme has been lifted to the limelight.

With hearts full of gratitude, we say:

“Lord, we never knew You’d honour us this way. We give You shouts of joy, praise, honour, and all the glory. Abba Father, we grab all the blessings from our Big Big God!”

Edwin Clark University is indeed a trailblazer in healthcare education.

2. Familiarization with University Policies and Resources: Students learn about academic regulations, campus facilities, student services, and available support systems. Knowing these early helps them make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary pitfalls.
3. Building a Sense of Community: Orientation fosters connections among new students, faculty, and staff. It promotes a sense of belonging, helping students form friendships, join clubs, and engage in campus life, which improves retention and overall well-being.
4. Academic Preparedness and Goal Setting: Freshmen receive guidance on course registration, study skills, and time management. Understanding the academic structure and expectations from the start empowers students to set clear goals and stay on track for success.
