Babcock University’s drive towards enhancing Nigeria’s health sector got a boost with the ground-breaking ceremony for the Dame Caroline Kessington Adebutu (KVW) School of Pharmacy.
President/Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ademola Tayo said the event marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s health sector, given the prevalence of fake drugs in the market.
“Also, we hope that this project will boost research aimed at solving various health problems in society.”
He emphasised the importance of maintaining high standards in the project’s execution; a six-floor, three-block building.
The donor-sponsored project, gifted by Nigerian philanthropist Chief Kessington Adebutu, in memory of his late wife, Mrs Caroline Oladunni Adebutu (KJW), is expected to be completed by October this year.

The CEO of CadTech, Engineer Jide Idowu, also pledged to deliver the project on time and to the required standards.
This initiative aligns with Babcock University’s mission to provide high-quality education and training in healthcare, ultimately contributing to the improvement of Nigeria’s health sector.
