UNIABUJA College of Medicine Set to Take Off

Posted on: Sun 07-07-2013

THE Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has said all is now set for the take-off of the College of Medicine of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).

Leader of the Council’s accreditation team, Prof. Frank Akpuaka, made this disclosure while inspecting the facilities of the College of Health Sciences of the university.

His words: “We want to believe that the end to students blocking the major highways has come. As you know, after this stage, we hope that students will be able to write their second MB very soon.

“Luckily for you, you already have a first-class teaching hospital. What we are doing is to try to make sure that the root of education is in place.”

Akpuaka, however, revealed that there were some outstanding responsibilities to be settled by the university, but expressed optimism that those issues would be resolved in a few weeks’ time.

“If you are a teaching hospital, you must graduate students; so there are responsibilities,” he said.

He urged the university to provide the remaining requirements such as building a clinical hostel within the hospital premises and the provision of standard offices for members of the academic staff.
