EKSU College of Medicine Finally gets Full Accreditation

Eksiti State University (EKSU) College of Medicine has been fully accredited.

This is good news to all students and aspirants of Ekiti State University (EKSU) as the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has given full accreditation to the University’s College of Medicine.

In a statement by the College’s Provost, Prof Kehinde Oluwadiya, the MDCN granted the MBBS full accreditation for five years.

According to him, the full accreditation permits the College to hold its final year examination for the first time in three years.

As at 2014, out of the 67 academic programmes being run by Ekiti State University, 63 were accredited, while four including those of the College of Medicine, were yet to be visited for accreditation though the courses in the College of Medicine had the approval of the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and Nigerian Medical Council (NMC).

However, the final accreditation process recommenced late last year when Governor Fayemi revived support for EKSU College of Medicine through financial and technical interventions including prompt payment of subventions.

He also presented a 22-seater bus to the College in March 2019, as part of steps to ensure that it gets full accreditation for its MBBS programme.
