Former Governor of Rivers State and Pro-Chancellor, PAMO University of Medical Sciences (PUMS), Dr. Peter Odili has stated that in less than 14 months of establishing the institution, Nigerians are now choosing the school ahead of the quota set by the university.
He said the school has, in a short time, become a choice of study for many Nigerians filling their Joint Administration and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms.
Speaking during the 2nd matriculation ceremony of the institution in Rivers State yesterday, the medical doctor said the level of discipline and quality of learning in PUMS was unrivaled, as its projection remains to become one of the best universities in the country.
He said: “Our plan is to ensure that graduates from this institution are exceptional in the course of offering healthcare services to Nigerians. And for that to happen, they must be certified worthy in character and learning, which is what we are pursuing.
“In the hospital setting, the most important person is the patient. You must therefore treat your patients like your bosses without which you have no work. For that to happen, your character must be impeccable, and that is what PUMO is about.”
