ECO-AFRICAN SETS THE BENCHMARK IN HEALTH EDUCATION AS NBTE REAFFIRMS ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS FOR CIVIL SERVICE ENTRY
ECO-African College of Health Sciences and Management Technology continues to reinforce its leadership position in Nigeria’s health education sector following a renewed clarification by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) on acceptable qualifications for entry into the civil and public service of the Federation. In a recent communication referencing an extant Circular from the Head of Service of the Federation, NBTE reaffirmed that only recognised academic qualifications, such as National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes duly approved and accredited by NBTE, are acceptable for employment into the Nigerian civil and public service. Professional or licence certificates issued outside the recognised academic framework are no longer considered valid entry qualifications. This clarification underscores the importance of enrolling in institutions that operate strictly within national regulatory standards, an area where ECO-African College of Health Sciences and Management Technology stands distinctly ahead.
As at the time of this publication, ECO-African College of Health Sciences and Management Technology is recognised as the first and only private NBTE-approved College of Health Sciences and Management Technology in Lagos State. This milestone positions the institution as a trailblazer in delivering compliant, future-focused health and management education within Nigeria’s most strategic economic hub. ECO-African College of Health Sciences and Management Technology programmes are developed, approved, and accredited in full alignment with NBTE regulations, ensuring that graduates earn widely recognised academic qualifications that meet national employment standards and enhance competitiveness across both public and private sectors.
The NBTE’s directive serves as a critical reminder to prospective students and parents that programme accreditation is not merely administrative, but foundational to long-term career outcomes. Graduates whose qualifications fall outside recognised academic frameworks risk exclusion from civil/public service opportunities and other formal employment pathways. ECO-African College of Health Sciences and Management Technology has consistently prioritised regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and curriculum relevance. By operating strictly within NBTE’s statutory framework, the College safeguards its students against such risks while positioning them for sustainable career progression in healthcare and allied fields.
