Lagos, Nigeria – June 14, 2024
Leading career college in Nigeria, CLI College, celebrated its 10th graduation in four years with the commencement of over 50 students from its Lagos campus on May 25, 2024. This milestone highlights the institution’s dedication to training and empowering professionals in healthcare, business, technology, and creative fields.
CLI College offers certificate and diploma programs for Healthcare Assistants and Mental Health & Addiction Counsellors, among other courses. This latest cohort of 50 graduates joins a prestigious alumni network of over 1,000 healthcare professionals who have graduated since the institution’s inception in 2020. As a member of the International Association of Private Career Colleges (IAPCC), CLI College boasts an impressive track record of graduates working in various healthcare organizations in Nigeria, the UK, Canada, Dubai, and beyond.
In her welcome address, Angela Chizea, Head of Health School at CLI College, acknowledged the graduates’ dedication and underscored the importance of education in shaping their futures. She expressed gratitude to the college staff and the supportive families who played pivotal roles in the graduates’ journeys. “We acknowledge the critical role played by our college staff, whose tireless efforts and unwavering support have helped shape your journey. And to the families and loved ones who have supported our graduates every step of the way, we extend our heartfelt gratitude,” Mrs. Chizea stated.
The keynote speech was delivered by Odunayo Sanya, Executive Director and Board Member of MTN Foundation, who highlighted the crucial role of the private sector in bridging the skills gap within the Nigerian healthcare industry. “The private sector isn’t just about companies and tuition fees. It’s about organizations, institutions, and everyone coming together to make a difference in their communities,” she remarked. Sanya also emphasized the importance of a strong healthcare system for a thriving economy. “When people are well, they can thrive. A healthy workforce is essential for any economy. When there are issues with healthcare access, it erodes the talent pipeline, hindering economic growth.” Her address resonated deeply with the graduating class, underlining the importance of collective action in building a stronger healthcare system for Nigeria.
The ceremony’s highlight was the conferral of certificates and diplomas by Angela Chizea, who praised the graduates for their unwavering commitment and hard work, extending her heartfelt congratulations on their achievements.
