Nursing aspirant speaks on his university choice
Speaking exclusively with Legit.ng, Tochukwu, the nursing aspirant, explained why he made Claretian University his first choice.
"While my JAMB score gave me the opportunity to consider several universities, I believe that choosing a university should be based on the quality of education, personal goals, and the environment that best supports one’s growth, not just prestige or cut-off marks. Claretian University stood out to me because I am already familiar with its values and academic culture, having attended Claret Primary School.
"My experience there taught me the importance of discipline, excellence, integrity, and service, and I wanted to continue my education in an environment that reflects those same principles. Another important factor was academic continuity. I have set clear goals for my future, particularly my aspiration to become a nurse and contribute meaningfully to healthcare in Nigeria. I wanted a university where I could pursue my education with consistency and focus, without prolonged interruptions that could delay my academic and professional plans.

"Staying on track is important to me because every year of training brings me closer to making a meaningful impact. In the long term, I hope to contribute to raising awareness about cancer, which remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria, while also improving access to quality healthcare for underserved communities. I believe nurses play a vital role not only in treating illness but also in health education, prevention, and advocacy..."
He continued:
"Most importantly, I chose Claretian University because I believe success is determined more by the commitment, character, and work ethic of the student than by the name of the institution. My goal is to maximise every opportunity available to me, build a strong academic foundation, and graduate as a competent, compassionate nurse who will make a meaningful impact in healthcare.
"For me, choosing Claretian University was not about settling for less. It was about choosing the environment where I believe I can grow, excel, and remain focused on achieving my long-term vision."
