This was disclosed on Tuesday at a press briefing in Benin by the institution’s Head of Information and Public Relation, Otunba Mike Aladenika.
Aladenika said the interventions by the Governor Monday Okpebholo-led government and the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sunday, Olowo Samuel has received the support of all stakeholders, including staff and students.
The institution’s Head of information and Public Relation, also noted that the management has equally played it roles to ensure a stable academic calendar and effective management of the institution under the able leadership of Acting Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sunday Olowo Samuel.
According to Aladenika, the interventions so far embarked upon the institution’s college of medicine includes the successfully graduation of medical students, induction of over 800 nursing graduates, and most importantly, the approval of relevant regulatory bodies to admit students into all programmes in the college.
“This stability is attributed to divine providence, the effective leadership of Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Sunday Olowo Samuel, the cooperation and understanding from staff, unions, and students, and most notably, the support of Governor Monday Okpebholo’s administration.
“Our College of Medicine faced significant challenges in the past, including a suspension of admissions and delayed graduations due to over-admission. This led to students taking up to 10 years or more to complete their 5 – or 6-year courses.
“However, with the leadership of Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Sunday Olowo Samuel, the college has made remarkable progress. We’ve successfully graduated medical students in batches, inducted over 800 nursing graduates, and nearly resolved MLS issues.
“Most importantly, relevant regulatory bodies have given us consent to admit students into all programs in the college. This marks a new era of growth and opportunity for our institution,” he said.
