The first set will be awarded RN or RM after 3 years with the option of spending an additional year for an HND, Subsequent sets will go directly for 4yrs of HND. The reason for the first set spending 3yrs and being awarded RN is because we first need visitation by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) before we will be able to award HND. After NBTE visitation we will then apply to JAMB. We have already kick-started the process.
The school fees are still being worked on by the management team.
We expect all payments to total between N900,000 and N1,000,000 (this excludes feeding).
