@Ighojob you must have graduated by now.
Health Information management is highly recognised and regulated in Nigeria. Admission is through JAMB; a 1yr compulsory IT and service (NYSC) on completion of d 5yr course (including IT) - 6yrs to complete.
The course is very interesting and challenging (looking at course contents), depending on how you approach studies, and especially if you're a lover of mathematics and IT.

However note that studying HIM widely encompasses knowledge in Management and administration, computer Sc., Anatomy and physiology, Data management, records mgt, clinical Coding, heavy mathematics and statistics course works.

If you want to stand out, pursuing professional competency in Database Administration, Data Analytics or Data Science, Computer programming, computer networking, information security will be highly valuable and desirable by potential employers, as we're quickly moving in the informatics direction today. Else, you'll be just another degree holder with no competencies.

Goodluck!
