The Oyo State College of Nursing and Midwifery has extended the deadline for the sale of its basic midwifery admission form by four weeks.

Gbonjubola Owolabi, the college’s provost, announced the development in a statement on Thursday.

The form sale, which had an initial deadline of March 20, will now run till April 20.

Owolabi explained that the extension was to create more time for prospective students who might still be interested in obtaining the form.

The provost further said that the computer based test (CBT) is now scheduled to hold from April 22 to April 24, while the interview is slated for May 2 and May 3.

Owolabi also announced that applicants seeking admission into basic nursing are now required to apply through the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

She encouraged interested candidates to take advantage of the extended period and visit the office of the registrar or ICT center of the college for further enquiry.

“The College will not compromise her standard as admission would strictly be based on merit. Post UTME form would be available at the College after the release of result for those who attained the cut off mark of 200 and above in their exam,” Owolabi said.

She cautioned the public against providing personal or financial information to any unofficial source claiming to be associated with the college. because she would never request for sensitive information through unofficial channels.

The provost also announced that the admission process into community nursing and community midwifery programmes has commenced and that candidates for the program will be shortlisted from their LGAs.

She commended Seyi Makinde, Oyo state governor, for paying full fees of all the candidates that would be recommended for the programmes from all the 33 LCDAs.
