       Professor Julius Okojie, the Executive Secretary of the Commission made the declaration in a lecture delivered at the maiden matriculation and inauguration of the...
University of Medical Science, Ondo, Ondo State.

        He said, ''the 2015 document for the training of medical students made provision for students to spend the first four years in studying basic sciences in university after which they would proceed to the medical school to spend another seven years.''

       In a lecture titled ‘Development of Medical Education : Prospects and Challenges‘, Okojie, who was represented by the Deputy Executive Secretary of the commission, Prof. Chiedu Mafiana, said that the development was imperative in order to enable the students mature psychologically for the profession.

        He  laid further emphasizes for the need of adequate funding of medical training and practice, the NUC Executive Secretary admonished the management of the institution to ensure that the money earmarked for the development of the institution was used for the purpose it was meant.

        With this new development, I think Nigerian Medical Students really need to be patient in the course of pursuing their future careers.
