Best Universities to Study Pharmacy in Nigeria, Don't be misguided, see all you need to know

Best Universities to Study Pharmacy in Nigeria

There is no doubt that Pharmacy is one of the best and lucrative medical courses in Nigeria and the course is been offered by public and private Universities across the country.

I have been moved to write this post because I understood that candidate are been disappointed and confused, when they see the list of  the best  Universities  to study pharmacy and they could  not see their school of choice listed. more so, I have also received messages, especially on social media, where aspirants are asking me the best Universities to study pharmacy in Nigeria.

Just as you must have read, I have also read much online about this very question, but this post will definitely give you the second thought, even if you have read something different earlier.

What are the Best Universities to Study Pharmacy in Nigeria?

Like I have said, I have read some online articles which are listing the best universities in Nigeria to study pharmacy, but after which I have decided to make further research of what could be the source for the writers, so I realized that most of the writers or authors that have published articles listing the best universities to study pharmacy based their rankings majorly on two things.
  1. Based on the rate at which candidates are choosing the Universities for Admission to study the course (Pharmacy).  
  2. Based on how Pharmacy Association of Nigeria (PAN) Listed the Accredited University that offers pharmacy on their website
 So, I have not come across any listing with real source for listing some universities as the best to study pharmacy.

All Accredited Universities for Pharmacy are Worthy to be refer to as the best University to study Pharmacy 

sometimes ago, I was having conversation with a secondary school mate of mine then, who is a now medical student at Obafemi Awolowo University which happens to be one the best universities to study pharmacy listed by those bloggers as you must have read or come across.

During the conversation, I congratulated her for been one of the student of the great University known online to be one of the best University  for medical courses especially pharmacy, but I was so surprise with her reply, she said “ No university has been chosen by the authorized body as the best university to study Pharmacy, as all accredited Universities by Pharmacy Association of Nigeria are the best University to study the course, regardless of the school you study the courses all students of pharmacy across the country will definitely undergo the same training and passed the same professional exams before they can graduate and be refer to as pharmacists."

After the conversation with her that very day, I also decided to check online how true this will be.
So,  checked the Pharmacy Association of Nigeria (PAN) official website and see the listed of the accredited Universities to study Pharmacy, but to my surprise, there is no any link or any article published concerns the best university to study the course and which I think the body should be the main source to know if there are some certain best university to attend when aspiring to study the course.

In a nut shell, I believe that the body accredited those schools based on the same criteria and with that they all worthy to be refer to as the best universities to study the course been it a public or private Institution.

But before I go further let me share with you the Accredited Universities for Pharmacy According to Pharmacy Association of Nigeria

  18. Faculty of Pharmacy, Delta State University, Abraka, Delta State
So, if you have chosen to make one of the above listed Universities  your choice of Institution to study pharmacy, I want to tell you that you are good to go without any fear future issues or challenges.  

Can the best Universities to Study Pharmacy be determined by the rate at which candidates are choosing them?  

Just as have said earlier in this post, some of the ranking you must have come through are based on the rate at which candidates choose those institutions to study pharmacy and its is majorly because those school has been intentional listed to be the best for Pharmacy by those hungry online publishers without any relevant reason, not even for academic excellent.

I know you mind must have concluded with those writers that schools are been chosen best by student for a particular course  based on their standard but I want you to know and understand that there are other reasons for a school to be the most chosen, not always because they are the best offering the course.

The other reasons for institutions to be best choose for a particular course can also be because of the cheap school fees for the course at the institution and some other reason as it may be applicable to students individually.

So, I want you to conclude with me that that the rate at which candidates choose some Universities for admission into pharmacy is not even enough to consider those universities as the best to study the course, dont be deceived. 

Conclusion

So, With the clarification brought about by this post, I believe you must have concluded with me that there are no specific universities labeled to be the best for Pharmacy.

So, to my own advice, you have to choose institution as pleased you with your results (JAMB, O’level or A’level) and the financial status of your sponsor (s).
