The National Universities Commission had given formal approval for the commencement of medicine and surgery to the school with effect from the 2020/2021 academic session.

The VC, who noted that the approval was an endorsement of the hard work and structures put in place, said, “All hands were on deck to ensure the smooth and efficient take off of the medical programme.
