President, National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, NPMCN, Prof. Rasheed Arogundade has again reiterated the need for Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, to support the college with funds.
He disclosed this recently during the press conference marking the weeklong activities lined up for the college’s 33rd convocation.
The president said up till now the college have not be able to receive adequate support for the construction of the proposed Clinical Skills and Simulation laboratory for which they sought TETFund intervention.
This facility according to him is needed to train Medical and Dental specialists of the highest quality, competence and dedication in line with global best practices in postgraduate medical education.
“We thank our supervising ministry for efforts made so far we hope it will take advantage of the enacted National Health Act of 2014 in order to ensure that adequate resources are available for education and training of health care personnel.
“We pray that TETFund will provide the intervention fund for this unique form of postgraduate education without further delay.”
Prof. Arogundade also used the opportunity to call on government and other benefactors to come to the college aid by providing land in Abuja as well as funds in order for the college to have a property where they can have their liaison office instead of a rented apartment.
A total of 341 will be awarded fellowship certificates at the convocation today while the lecture will be delivered by an erudite scholar and a professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Emmanuel Otolorin.
