The Alumni of the Faculty of Nursing, Niger Delta University (NDU) in Bayelsa State, has deemed it worthy to honour one of their exceptional lecturers in recognition and appreciation of her dedication, selflessness and service to humanity by imparting a great deal of knowledge upon upcoming health professionals studying in the tertiary institution (NDU).
This was contained in an article posted on their WhatsApp group, which read as follows:
"On this week's edition of the Faculty of Nursing Alumni FACE OF THE WEEK,
we honour Mrs. JOYCE BOKOLO from the Department of Community Health Nursing, whose unique style of lecturing coupled with her motherly guide has helped shaped beautiful minds as products of our dear Faculty of Nursing.
Her desire for the success of her students is topnotch which is evident in her passion and dedication to duties.
She's fun to be with most especially through her story-telling sessions about life experiences in the nursing profession and her personal life as well.
Honourable colleagues, may we rise as we celebrate our mother and teacher, Mrs JOYCE BOKOLO as our FACE OF THE WEEK ❤️👏🏆🥇."
When contacted for feedback on this development, her Son, BIOBELEMOYE BOKOLO had these to say:
"My mother is my No.1 role model and my heroine when it comes to certain issues of life, especially pertaining academics. Growing up as a lad, I watched my mother work so hard to raise my siblings and I to the best of her capacity, ensuring we had all we needed not to go handicap or be considered less privilege while she struggled with her own academics and professional career development.
A beloved mother, a retired civil servant and Chief Nursing Officer (CNO Rtd.) found herself in a position where she had to apply her excellent catering skills for public utilization alongside her regular government job, just to make ends meet.
The above notwithstanding, she was absolutely responsible to her domestic responsibilities.
I celebrate my mother, she's a workaholic and I always discuss this with my siblings sometimes where we casually say: 'mummy likes work too much, she no dey gree rest', and then we all laugh over it."
The Septuagenarian, Mrs. Bokolo retired prestigiously from Federal Civil Service in 2009. She holds a Masters Degree (MSc, 2006) in Hospital and Health Services Administration, and returned to learning in 2011 to acquire a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BNSc, 2016) which became a requirement upon taking up a retirement lecturing job with the Niger Delta University.
She is blessed with children and grandchildren, and believes that education is the key that unlocks numerous doors to success.
