10 Best Medical Schools In Nigeria by Nobody: 9:03pm On Feb 19, 2016
To qualify to practice as a medical doctor in
Nigeria, you have to attend a medical
school. However,there are so many
medical schools in Nigeria that it can
become really difficult to choose a very
good one to attend.
It is very important to select a medical
school carefully. This is one of the most
important decisions you would ever make
and it is very important to do it with care,
precision and armed with the relevant facts
and figures because really, all medical
schools are not created equal.
To take care of the facts and figures aspect,
we have decided to provide you with
detailed information on the best medical
schools in Nigeria to help you make an
informed decision.
Almost every university in Nigeria offers
medicine and surgery as an accredited
course but if you want to be able to
compete with your colleagues on the
international scene and be a very good
doctor, these are the medical schools that
are likely to help you achieve that.

1. University of Ibadan
University of Ibadan has one of the largest
college hospitals in Nigeria. It is a popular
saying amongst Nigerians that if an ailment
cannot be treated or managed in UCH, then
it can’t be cured anywhere else in Nigeria.
In UCH, you would find a lot of medical
cases and ailments that you may never find
anywhere else in Nigeria. I guess you
already know what that does for your
career as a medical doctor.

2. Obafemi Awolowo
University
Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, is
another very good place to study medicine
in Nigeria especially in the South-West.
OAU also has a very attractive college
hospital with dozens of medical cases and
ailments.

3. Ahmadu Bello
UniversityZaria (ABU)
If you are in the North, then ABU is the
best place to study medicine in the
Northern area of Nigeria as no other
medical school in Northern Nigeria can
compete with ABU in terms of its facilities,
structures, brilliance and dedication of its
lecturers.

4. University of Lagos
(UNILAG)
As with others, UNILAG’s college of
medicine is divided into three faculties;
The Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences,
Faculty of Clinical Sciences and the Faculty
of Dental Sciences.
UNILAG has been in existence since 1962
and has turned out tens of thousands
ofgraduates over its 52 years of existence.

5. Lagos State University
Lagos State University (LASU) also has a
very impressive College of Medicine and a
teaching hospital.

6. University Of Nigeria
Nsukka
On the eastern end of Nigeria, we have the
University of Nigeria, Nsukka. UNN is a
Federal Government owned University and
has a lot of facilities for effective tutoring
of its medical students.

7. University of Benin
(UNIBEN)
This is another medical college that has
been in existence for several decades and
has earned its spot on the list of the best
medical colleges in Nigeria.
UNIBEN has turned out a good number of
medical doctors over the years most of
whom are doing impressively well in the
medical industry today.

8. University of Ilorin
UNILORIN has good facilities for studying
medicine. One attractive thing about
studying medicine in UNILORIN is the fact
that it has a fast paced educational system
and doesn’t go on strike like other
government-owned universities, making it
possible to finish your medical program in
record time.

9. Delta State University
Delta State University is also one of the
most interesting schools to study medicine
in Nigeria.

10. Niger Delta University
Although a relatively new college of
medicine compared to all the other schools
on this list, NDU has done well since its
inception and has proved that it can hold its
own as one of the best places to study
medicine in Nigeria. Niger Delta University
is based in Bayelsa State.

Re: 10 Best Medical Schools In Nigeria by gbenga4sure(m): 8:14am On Feb 20, 2016
UCH is actually the best.Its the fist college of medicine established before Nigerias independence(Its UCH was firstly managed by whites who set a good foundation for it).UCH had set standard by carrying out Nigerias first succesful heart surgery(i think 2012 or so),first succesful neuro surgery.first succesful kidney transplant(so many years ago).I went there during my sisters SIWES and there were some instruments there that U.C.H only has in Nigeria,some giving as donation by foreign organisation to them.
If u want to classify Nigerian Federal universities on overall or any other mode
The list is always according to their old age which will bring
u.i,unn,oau b4 any other.Because their long existence have given them good infrastructural and moral foundation.
Note not a student of the school,just saying the truth

Same Nigerian characterised University "poo"!
Where students of each school will come and support the school and bad-mouth others;while the totality of all the Nigerian Tertiary institutions can't even withstand the world's standard.
Tell me about Nigerian health sector, not about the medical school. First things first! angry
