Rhema University Nigeria

Rhema University Nigeria A citadel of learning where humanity is equipped for excellence using the head and heart connection philosophy of education

The history of RHEMA UNIVERSITY NIGERIA dates back to 1987 when the President of the Living Word Ministries, Bro Emma Okorie got concerned about the falling standards of education in Nigeria in terms of academic content and Christian values, and decided to address these problems with the setting up of nursery, primary and secondary schools as part of the evangelistic outreach of the ministry. This

led to the establishment of nursery , primary school and threee Secondary schools in some states of Nigeria and Lome, Togo. All these schools built and run along the Christian principles have produced students who have excelled academically and in moral values. Given the outstanding performance of the product from the Living Word Primary and Secondary Schools, the great demand for admission into the schools by parents, it became clear that Living Word Ministries would provide much service to the nation by venturing into the area of tertiary education. This was seen as a way of producing God-fearing leaders and also providing access to University education in Nigeria. Given the statistics which show that the few places available for University admission are greatly oversubscribed in Nigeria, our successes in both the primary and secondary schools and the performances of our products, Living Word Ministries shared the vision of its President and decided to start a university – Rhema University Nigeria, Aba, Abia State.

Rhema University Nigeria Medicine and Surgery Programme gets Full Accreditation

Rhema University Nigeria medicine and surgery programme has been granted full accreditation status by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).

The cheery announcement came after a rigorous evaluation exercise conducted by the Council to ascertain Rhema University's readiness to produce doctors for the marketplace.

In the course of the exercise, the Council conducted a thorough evaluation of the facilities and laboratories, as well as the quality of the faculty staff and the training environment to ascertain their fitness for the training of prospective medical doctors.

Speaking for the Council, Dr. Nnaemeka Nwakanma who also led the team of evaluators commended the Management of Rhema University Nigeria for achieving this milestone in such a short time, and urged the University not to rest on its oars as more work needs to be done to maintain and improve on current standards.

He stressed that getting a full accreditation should not be an excuse for laxity as the Council will not hesitate to withdraw the accreditation if standards are not continually improved upon.

Responding to the cheery news, Rhema University Nigeria Vice Chancellor, Professor Ogbonnaya Onwudike pledged that the University having gotten this far would ensure that the confidence reposed on the University by rhe Council would never be toyed with, and that Rhema University Nigeria would continue to remain a preferred destination for persons aspiring to become medical doctors in Nigeria and from across the borders.

It would be recalled that earlier, Nigeria's National Universities Commission (NUC) had granted full accreditation to the medicine and surgery programme of Rhema University Nigeria.

Present at the briefing event, which held on February 26, 2026 were the Pro-Chancellor, Professor Ogwo Ogwo, Provost, Rhema University Nigeria Medical School, Professor Madu Awa, the Chief Medical Director, Rhema University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Jude Ehiemere and other principal officers of the University.
