The University of Ilorin Veterinary Teaching Hospital (UIVTH) at Sabo Oke, Ilorin, is ready for inauguration. Already, surgery is being carried out on ani-mals and staffing has started.
UIVTH Director, Prof Emmanuel Olugbenga Oyedipe, noted that 85 per cent of the work is already completed.
The UIVTH complex comprises clinics for avian, fish, small animal, wild life, large animal, horses, and ruminants for large animals like cattle and small ones.
It also has specialised clinics for surgery, medical group, laboratory investigations, X-ray and imagery, Necropsy or post mortem and Phar-macy.
The Professor of Theriogenology (the science of reproduction in animals) disclosed that the facility only needs to be equipped. "What is left is instrumentation, that is, equipment supplies, equipment for laboratories and the clinics. The more modern the equip-ment, the more he and accurate the diagnosis,"he said.
The Director, who had worked at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, and was instrumental to the establishment of a Veterinary Teaching Hospital in that institution, said the UNILORIN facility is better.
"When I came here, I had the op-portunity to deliver my dream of what a Veterinary Hospital should look like and I had a willing partner in the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Ambali.
"The vision for this place is to have the best crop of trained Veterinarians, capable of meeting challenges of controlling diseases of animals including those that have implications for human and environmental welfare. We hope to create a link with practitioners on the field who are the ones in direct contact with users of our services for the efficient delivery of veterinary services in the catchment areas of the University of Ilorin, which are basically contiguous states to Kwara State," he said.
He thanked the university management for supporting the project.
