University of Medical Sciences, UNIMED, Ondo has secured accreditation for its MBBS and BDS programmes.
This accreditation is coming barely two years after the establishment of the first medical science university in the country.
The accreditation followed the verification conducted by the Medical and
Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) in October to ascertain the facilities
and human resources available for the training of medical and dental
students. This was contained in a statement by Temitope Oluwatuyi of the
institution’s Public Relations Department.
In a letter dated October 18, 2017, the Acting Registrar of the Medical
and Dental Council of Nigeria, Dr. T. A. B Sanusi, said with the
approval, the university can now conduct the first MBBS professional and
BDS examinations.
This examination will allow the students’ progress to the next stage of
their training programmes. The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof.
Friday Okonofua, described the accreditation as a laudable milestone in
the history of UNIMED. Okonofua appreciated the Visitor to the
university, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, for his support to the
institution.
Some members of staff of the university commended the VC and described
him as a visionary leader who has used his experience to bring great
developments to the institution.
