…VC, Provost charge them to serve with compassion, empathy

Lagos State government on Tuesday, urged newly inducted nurses of the Lagos State University College of Medicine, LASUCOM, to stay and work in the healthcare system as more medical personnel are needed in the State.

An induction and oath taking ceremony was held for new nurses of the 6th set of Bachelor of Nursing Science graduates of LASUCOM at the institution’s auditorium in Ikeja.

According to the Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Mr. Tolani Sule, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Adeniran Kasali at the induction said the State needs more of the services of the 42 new nurses having invested in their training.

“Lagos is facing unique health challenges as it’s trying to meet the health needs of over 20 million residents which are the reason you are important.

“You are to fill a critical space in our healthcare system. Your skills are desperately needed right here and right now. Lagos awaits your services so we can ameliorate challenges we face in the state.

“Lagos requires more medical professionals. We are improving the condition of our workers. Remember the investment of Lagos State government in you,” he urged them.

The Commissioner also advised the new set of nurses to improve their knowledge of the medical profession by embracing the use of technology.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, reminded the inductees that nursing is a noble profession and they must operate with compassion and empathy.

“The rigorous nursing profession requires commitment to serving humanity. Nursing is a noble profession that requires compassion and empathy. Nurses are the backbone of any healthcare system. You have imbibed integrity and professionalism, remember to carry these values with you and they will guide you.

“Be advocates for change; use your voice to advocate for improved healthcare. Be leaders in your respective communities and strive to make a positive impact. Never compromise on quality and carry your responsibility with pride,” the VC said.

While charging the inductees, the Provost of LASUCOM, Prof. Olufemi Idowu, said “The world needs nurses who operate with compassion. You have been trained with diligence and learnt with humility so bring your knowledge to the society. Your stethoscope represents responsibility so let it guide your decisions and every life you encounter.”

The Guest lecturer, Dr. Oluwatosin Ope-Babadele, expressed that technology can only enhance the medical profession; it cannot replace the empathy expected from nurses to patients.

She said “Technology can help to bring your ideas to life. The future is not a battle between humans and machines. AI will not replace the nursing profession, it can only enhance it. So embrace technology but don’t lose sight of human emotion and empathy.”

        The Classic Car Club of Nigeria has celebrated its 10th anniversary with Nostalgic Lagos, a classic car exhibition held on October 1 at the Lagos Polo Club, Ikoyi, as part of activities marking Nigeria’s Independence Day. The event brought together classic car collectors, enthusiasts, families, friends and distinguished guests for a celebration of vintage automobiles and the memories, history and heritage associated with them. Organised around the theme of nostalgia and heritage, the event featured an impressive collection of classic automobiles, alongside a drive and showcase, fashion and style, and family-oriented activities. The celebration provided guests with an opportunity to view some of the country’s cherished vintage vehicles while connecting with the stories behind them. Speaking at the event, Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, a classic car collector and one of the event’s sponsors, said the vehicles represented more than their physical and mechanical value, noting that many were connected to personal memories and significant moments in people’s lives. “For some of us, it’s nostalgic. We carry fond memories of some of those cars. Some of them took us to school, some of them were driven by our parents, some by our uncles, and some of them we owned when we started. So every car has a history and tells a story. That’s the most important thing.” Badejo-Okusanya, who described himself as a storyteller and public relations consultant, stressed the importance of preserving the history represented by the vehicles. “You must treasure heritage, treasure tradition. There can’t be a future without a history. So this is the history that we carry here.” He added that every vehicle at the exhibition had a story, pointing to his own Mercedes-Benz, which he described as “Obokun,” and recalling its significance during the period when it was introduced in Nigeria. “Every single one has a history and I can tell you the history, the story. Every single one has a story.” According to him, the appeal of classic cars extends beyond ownership, as the vehicles provide an opportunity for people to reconnect with different periods of Nigeria’s history and share experiences across generations. Dapo Otunla, Chairman and Co-founder of the Classic Car Club of Nigeria, said the Club’s activities have continued to bring together people who share a passion for classic automobiles, including enthusiasts who do not own vintage cars themselves. “It’s the kind of thing where we come together with our cars, friends and affiliates. Even people who don’t own cars join us. We just enjoy the time, admire the cars and share experiences,” Otunla said. Founded in 2016, the Classic Car Club of Nigeria has grown over the past decade into a community of more than 120 members, organising classic car drives, exhibitions and social gatherings that promote the appreciation and preservation of vintage automobiles. The anniversary celebration also highlighted the role of classic cars in preserving Nigeria’s motoring heritage. Many of the vehicles displayed at Nostalgic Lagos were once familiar sights on Nigerian roads and remain associated with different generations and periods of the country’s social history. The Club has also continued to advocate for greater recognition of classic motoring as part of Nigeria’s cultural and tourism offering, with Otunla previously calling for increased support to develop classic car exhibitions and activities across Nigeria and the wider West African region. Nostalgic Lagos was particularly significant as it coincided with Nigeria’s Independence Day, providing an opportunity for guests to reflect on the country’s journey while celebrating vehicles that have formed part of its history....
