Graduates of Dispensing Opticianry and that of Pharmacy Technician of the Millennium College of Health Technology, Aaye, Akure, have been advised to always uphold the tenets of their noble chosen professions and be ready to serve humanity.
The Provost of the College, Mrs Ayodele Adinlewa gave the advice at separate inductions/professional oath taking organised for the fresh National Diploma (ND) graduates by their different professional bodies.
The inductees are of the 2018/2019 academic session.
Mrs Adinlewa specifically encouraged the inductees to bring their training into bear in their future endeavours, and also remember their Alma-mata and contribute their quotas to the development of the College.
She congratulated the graduands for the success in their chosen professions, just as she urged them not to rest in their oars until they become the best they can be in future.
According to her, the College would continue to train qualified health care professionals that would be job providers rather than job seekers.
“As the Provost of this institution, I have always envisioned a college of health education that is first among equals, most preferred, making significant contributions to the society, self reliant and a force to reckon with among colleges globally; a truly 21st century college of health by the end of my tenure and I challenge you as graduands of this great institution to go on with this drive and be the best in your chosen professions,” the Provost said.

The Registrar who also advised the inductees to uphold their professional ethics, described Dispensing Opticianry as very important to human life hence they must not fail their clients.
She advised them not to be complacent with the ND certificates but be ready to acquire more in the near future so that they can be the best they wanted to be.
Also, the Registrar, Pharmacists Council of Nigeria represented by the Deputy Director, Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, Pharm. (Mrs) Ogunlola Adenike, advised the graduating pharmacy technicians to live above board and always work to save lives.
Earlier, the HOD, Pharmacy Technician, Millennium College of Health Technology, Dr. Pharm (Dr) Adesanya Olamide, who expressed joy that all the 36 students presented for the National examination conducted by Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria were successful, also stressed that the graduands have been well trained in character and learning.
