IFAKO-IJAIYE, Nigeria - EntSun -- Lagos, Nigeria & Dubai, UAE

Graceland College of Nursing, a pioneering healthcare education institution based in Lagos, Nigeria, has officially joined FasterCapital's LaunchUp program to accelerate its mission of producing internationally competitive, practice-ready nurses. This strategic partnership, initiated in June 2025, targets the West African healthcare market and aims to bridge Nigeria's critical nursing skills gap through technology-driven education and global curriculum standards.

Addressing a Critical Healthcare Challenge:

Current nursing education programs often lack practical training, up-to-date curricula, and alignment with global benchmarks. Graceland College of Nursing addresses these challenges by offering an innovative solution designed to close the skills gap, improve patient care, and enhance Nigeria's competitiveness in the global healthcare labor market.

Innovative Education Tailored for Global Competency:

Graceland College of Nursing delivers a technology-enabled, hands-on nursing education that emphasizes clinical excellence and practical readiness. Through its globally aligned curriculum and partnerships with foreign-trained faculty, the college ensures 100% success in nursing board exams and equips graduates with skills applicable locally and internationally.
