The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has inducted fifty-six medical graduates of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State.
During the 9th induction ceremony, the Provost College of Health Sciences, Professor Olufemi Awotunde disclosed that a total of 374 graduates had been inducted so far.
The Registrar of MDCN, Dr Fatima Kyari lauded the school for its contribution to the health sector adding that the council was satisfied with the performance of Bowen medical graduates.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof Jonathan Babalola said, “Fifty-six students were inducted today and I’m very confident of their abilities. They were made to pass through all they needed to pass through.
“The government has to do more, especially for private universities. The policy of the government shying away from assisting private institutions is not good. The students in the private institutions are also Nigerians and they are being trained to help the country.
“So, if we are producing people who will help the world and conducting research that will impact society, then the government should also have an input in whatever we do.”
