Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko has signed into laws the bill establishing the Ondo State University of Medical Science and Amendment Appropriation Bill 2014.
He signed the two bills at the Cocoa Conference Hall of the governor’s office in Akure.
In his address after the signing of the bills on Monday, Mimiko said the university would not just be another university but a global reference point in the area of health.
“We are not just building a university but a specialised one that will beat all national benchmark. The university will be a global reference point in medical care.”
He said facilities at the Trauma Centre, Mother and Child Hospital, Kidney Centre, Gani Fawawehinmi Diagnostic Centre and others would not only serve the university but the entire Ondo State.

Mimiko, who commended the leaders and members of the Ondo State House Assembly for the various bills passed this year, said his administration had invested much in all the tertiary institutions in Ondo State and the result are evidence based.
He said all the courses offered in Ondo State University of Science and Technology, OSUSTECH, got accredited in less than two years of its operations and that products from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, AAUA, got the overall best results in the Nigerian Law School examination.
He said no nation can develop better than the level of the products of its tertiary institutions.
In his congratulatory message at the ceremony, Prof. Temitope Alonge, CMD of UCH, said he is proud to be part of the mission of Governor Mimiko and promised to render any assistance whenever it is needed.
