The Registrar, Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board of Nigeria (MRTB), Dr Olufunke Akanle has acclaimed Bowen University, Iwo, as the best institution that offers practical character building and discipline education among other tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
Dr Akanle gave this remark during the second edition of the university’s Physiotherapy graduating students induction and award ceremony, held on the university campus on Thursday.
The MRTB registrar expressed satisfaction with how the vice-chancellor of the university, Professor Joshua Ogunwole, as loco parentis, scolded the graduating students for coming late to the induction venue, and the whole graduating students themselves, without being told, apologetically knelt down to express their regret.
According to her, the action of the vice-chancellor and the positive response to the accusation by the graduating students spoke volumes of the practical discipline education and the character-building process the university has instilled into the lives of its students.
She noted the high quality of Physiotherapy education enriched with godliness in the university, which she said was second to none in the Nigerian universities system.
She said: “The results of our assessments and interaction with the Bowen University Physiotherapy graduating students before their induction ceremony, show a strong evidence that they were well taught and they are very brilliant. This informed our decision to institute a merit award for some of them who did very well in the test, in recognition of their excellent performance.
“In this regard, I am seeing Bowen University graduates as products that will be of great impact in the field of Physiotherapy profession, not only in Nigeria but across the globe. So, MRTB is happy with this crop of physiotherapists and we are looking forward to seeing them make impact even in their generation. I will therefore advise the university not to relent in its commitment to produce graduates who will contribute immensely to his or her immediate environment.”
Similarly, members of the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy and Association of Clinical and Academic Physiotherapy of Nigeria, asserted that Bowen University has what it required to produce seasoned physiotherapists for the country.
The overall best graduating student of the year for the physiotherapy programme in the university, Mayowa Nihinlola confirmed the quality and discipline education enriched with godliness and leadership that Bowen exposes its undergraduates and postgraduates.
He said: “I did not take Bowen university education as serious until we found ourselves outdistancing our colleagues even from first and second-generation universities in the country in many of the academic and research national and international competitions Bowen will always come first, second, or finished third in any of the completion we engage ourselves other universities in Nigeria.
“Moreover, our technological/science–based entrepreneurial education differentiates us from other graduates elsewhere in the labour market.”
The vice-chancellor in his response reiterated that the continued success story of the university was derived from the foundation built by the pioneer leadership of the institution since inception, which he said his administration has strictly continued to build on.
According to him, the university was established to produce graduates based on excellence, godliness, leadership, to be enriched with entrepreneurship education. He said that Bowen University will not condole indiscipline on the campus, stressing that anybody found, staff, or students, will be seriously dealt with.
In this light, our students are expected to finish their academic and professional programmes, having find worthy in learning and in character.
