The college of nursing and midwifery was founded in 1949. It resulted as a merge between the Oyo State School of Nursing, and the Oyo State School of Midwifery (established in 1954), through an act passed by the
Oyo State House of Assembly in 2005. The college officially started on March 7, 2014, with a campus in Kishi, which offers basic midwifery. == Structures and departments ==
