President of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, NPMCN, Dr. Ademola Olaitan has assured Nigerians of improvement in the postgraduate medical and dental education sector, if President Muhammadu Buhari's administration massively invests in the medical education.
Meanwhile, the college has conferred honorary fellow award on the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar in recognition of his relentless advocacy for improved healthcare and prevention of communicable diseases in the country. Olaitan, while delivering the 34th convocation lecture of the NPMCN, pointed out that funding is a major challenge facing the institute.
He said: The postgraduate medical and dental education in Nigeria is passing through a turbulent period. While funding is low, the frequent work stoppages in various Teaching Hospitals does not allow for trainees fulfilment of the prescribed minimum period of clinical placement."
