Archbishop Charles Heerey College of Health Sciences and Technology, Nkpor is the success story of School of Medical Laboratory Technicians Nkpor (SOMLAN). From a modest beginning in 2007, SOMLAN’s success in Medical Laboratory Council examinations over the years triggered a new idea to expend the scope of the school to accommodate different interest groups that come seeking a place of learning in the School. This necessitated development of new course ideas in the area of health sciences to align with the training of Medical Laboratory Technicians. Thus new courses were introduced which meant upgrading the School from a monotechnics to a polytechnic.
