In 2010, the Senate of the University approved a proposal establishing a school of Medicine of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. In March 2015, the Rivers State Government gave approval for the establishment of the College of Medical Sciences in the University. It is envisaged that the College of Medical Sciences,
Rivers State University (RISUCOM) will turn out to be one of the best in the country taking into consideration its advantageous position to avoid those obstacles encountered by earlier Colleges of Medicine in the country. In addition, the College will stand on the very strong science and technology foundation laid by the parent University.
The need to establish a Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc.) programme has always been the desire of the Rivers State Government. This is based on the directive by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria advising all the State Governments to endeavor to upgrade their current certificate programmes in Nursing to degree programmes.
Following submissions from numerous stakeholders especially the Rivers State branch of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, the Vice-Chancellor constituted a Joint Working Committee consisting of officials of both the Rivers State Government and the Rivers State University to facilitate the process for the establishment of a Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc.) programme in the University. A Curriculum (Working) Committee was subsequently established by the Vice-Chancellor to produce a draft curriculum for the proposed Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc.) degree programme. It was resolved that the programme be domiciled in the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences to enable a hitch free startup of the programme. This working committee coopted a number of academics from the University of Port Harcourt. This curriculum is the result of the effort of the Working Committee approved for the programme by the Senate of the University.
