THE first set of Ekiti University College of Medicine is ready for graduation following the release of the final Professional MBBS Examination with outstanding performance.
This came after the students had spent 10 years on the programme due to delay in their institution’s accreditation by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
The MDCN, at its third plenary meeting held on June 13, 2019, considered the report of the 14-member visitation team led by its Registrar, Dr. T.A.B Sanusi, sent to inspect the facilities in the institution’s college.
With the accreditation, the students participated in the final Professional MBBS Examination, which was held between July 8 and 19.
