About Us

Our History

Established in 1970, the College of Nursing Agbor began as a small training center with just 100 students and 10 dedicated instructors. Over the decades, we have evolved into a respected institution for nursing education in Delta State, now serving over 3,000 students annually with a faculty of experienced healthcare professionals and educators.

Our campus has grown from a modest building to a comprehensive educational facility with modern classrooms, simulation labs, and student support services. Throughout our growth, we have maintained our commitment to excellence in healthcare education, innovation in teaching methodologies, and deep community engagement in the Agbor region.
