About Us

Our History

The College of Nursing Sapele was established in 1973 as a regional healthcare training center with an initial enrollment of 90 students and 10 dedicated instructors. Over the decades, we have evolved into a respected institution for nursing education in Delta State, now serving over 3,500 students annually with a faculty of experienced healthcare professionals and educators.

Our campus has grown from its original facilities into a comprehensive educational environment featuring modern clinical laboratories, specialized learning spaces, and extensive student support services. Throughout our development, we have maintained our commitment to healthcare excellence, educational innovation, and meaningful engagement with the Sapele community.
