What exactly did they say these unis did or did not do? why isnt anyone asking these questions

Don't we know it already that our schools produce incompetent graduated and medicine is a field where incompetency
can not be tolerated.

gokuu:

how will FG ban them? Have u forgotten that the school is goodlucks' alma-mata??

hehe,I'd even forgotten. it's not so surprising now why he's kinda incompetent

. . .reading the article. It appears the listed schools have all lost their accreditation to train doctors.

He added that the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) had also advised that they suspend accreditation of some medical schools in the country.

“The decision only applies to students who graduated from those medical schools after the MDCN suspended their accreditation,” Day said

fados4sure:

If Uniben can be among, it then means all university in Nigeria is dead. Asap.
A whole Uniben?

na uniben u dey hype like dis? when did u travel out of d country?

The medical and dental council of nigeria have issues with them in terms of accreditation and meeting up to the basic requirement, i am certain GMC would have sort for a review with mdcn

well from all indications the closest explanation to this is the tussle between these schools and the medical council of nigeria particularly as regards to accreditation. if not for all, at least for the university of benin

I'm not surprised.

@Humblebee am in uni of Surrey, chemical engineering. The same people rated uniben as number one thats why i said so.

oyb:

who is suprised about uniport - can't you see the idiots being paraded as the schools most illustrious alumnus - goodunce johnathan?

there was a uniport corper in my office - dumb as a sack of bricks - the only thing she sabi is following big brother .

I used to think UNIPORT was good until I met one of their grads during NYSC. he didnt have his WAEC and was writing with the students we were teaching

Imagine How can you graduate without WAEC

Olalekan 0:

These are unis whose governing council receives collosal amounts of monies as grants from the Feds. What else do they need? They divert these funds and then turn around to accuse the govt of neglect.

The failure of nigerian grads are not limited to the medical fields alone,there are thousands of them in every discipline who have resorted to blue collar jobs abroad as a result of their inability to pass interviews at graduate level jobs.

Aside UI,Unilag and OAU,all Nigerian public unis are done and are only clinging on to their history(past glory).

Looking back,I'm grateful to God for giving me the courage to ignore these federal schools when i was doing my undergrad in Nigeria,I thank God i went to a private uni at a time people tagged them glorified sec.schools. It turned out a wise decision!

Is Igbinedion not a Private Uni?

LOL, uniben my ass!

They have banned the University's Medicine graduates because they think they are not good enough based on set standards. It is either you are good enough or not. Let us stop whinin and deal with the issues.

Is Igbinedion not a Private Uni?

don't mind his Intellectual laziness, afterall we should not expect much from a private uni. grad!

anybody that says lasu isn't a good sch must have smoke weed because i cant see the sch medical college on that list

AAU why?

Some of the comments on this thread are either sentimental or at best, ignorant. The schools had a problem with accreditation from the medical and dental council of Nigeria because of the population of the students vs lecturer ratio. This happened late last year. As an obligation, the MDCN informed the WHO who de-listed the affected schools.

This problem has been solved and the MDCN website has now been updated. See the MDCN website: http://www.mdcnigeria.org/


The following is a list of currently updated accredited medical schools as obtained from the MDCN website:

The WHO website though (http://avicenna.ku.dk/database/medicine/) has not been updated as bad news often makes the headlines quickly but they are very difficult to retract.

A final note. It beats me why and how we are able to introduce tribal hatred into any thread no matter how serious the thread is. If we understand how unpopular Nigeria is outside the borders of Nigeria, we will strive to lift each other whenever any part of us is lacking or found wanting. Nigeria has a very bad image already and it is everyone's fault. Lets work together to dig ourselves out of the shameful hole we've found ourselves in.

madam, u don come again! How far? How are we celebrating the graduation??

This is an indictment too many for the Nigerian Educational System. It is a smack on our collective face(s). It is an endorsement of the negative tradgetory of the Nigerian education system. Unfortuantely, blacklisting of this nature often attracts similar undeserved blacklisting. You can be on the look out for other similar pejorative clamp-down.

This is a very  disturbing  development that  a sane goverment would have constitute a committee to critically considered. While we continued to deceived ourselves that everything is OK, the outside world has dimensioned us and find us wanted and deficient.

Unequivocably, this singular act is enough for a government to be declare failed. Failed in meeting the aspiration of her citizens and failure to meet the expectation of its contemporary.When the education of a state began to failed, other variables catalystimically would tumbled.

Gone are the days, when Nigerian graduates are global preferences, today, the reverse is the case. Nor only are we 2nd rated by way of training, the system has worsened the situation.

This anomaly was ochestrated by our porous admission system (available for highest bidders), high student to lecturer ratio, in between are pockets of needless strike resulting in unpredictable academic time-table and decayed infrastructures. Thesame syllabi my great grand father used in 1960s are still been recycled today in our universities. One wonders what knowledge that could impact to anybody. It is now fashionable to buy rather than earn grades in our university. Study hard is only meant for the 'fools'.

Its unbelievable,how as a country, with short sightedness have collectively mortgaged our future ALL for nothing. What in hloy heaven  brought us to this shameful position?

I sometimes wondered what future we are bequeating to our children with all this unfortunate but avoidable collective and national embarrassment?

I hope the Federal Government, for once, would wake up and remedy this situation.

Boyloaf:

AAU why?

what is AAU good for outside of producing cultists and olodo thugs?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-485576.0.html

that is supposed to be a 400level engineering grad

i remember my nysc - a large number of AAU students had big time issues with their call up letters - and they had to go back to school to sort it out

I know a dude who graduated from UniBen with a degree in architecture. He cannot draw a straight line to connect two dots.

I know another dude who graduated from UniJos with a degree in medicine. He admitted to me that during school he paid someone to write his exams for him.

Am I surprised? No.

@dayokanu,It is no longer news to the discerning that the Oba Okunade college of medicine,Igbinedion university is not accredited by the NUC and the school was the only private uni mentioned on that list.
Besides i didn't attend Igbins.

Serve them right, thats what u get when u pay peanuts 4 educatn. NUC shld quickly go 4 re-evaluation of dept. In their respective schs.

plz,i'm a graduate of nnamdi azikiwe university,college of health sciences,medical school,plz we jut acquired our own vamed equipments 4 the teaching hospital,though we may b backwards in infrastructure,our medical academics is top-notch,any one saying we 'sort' in our medical schl obvious hasnt been there in recent times,as for the blacklisting of my schl,what are the reasons?

I have always maintained that 80% of graduates from the south are wacks. From the blacklisted list of universities not a single one is from the north. we may not be mass producing wacky graduates, but our graduates are genuine.

this is going to increase the pressure on the remaining medical schools because prospective students will head for those places now.


OAU is already one of the toughest med schools in the country.

[Unijos] lost their accreditation earlier in the year. Reason? Admitting 600+ students for Medicine in 100 level whereas they are accredited to train only 100 doctors each year courtesy of an admissions racket where people pay for admission into Medical school.
These things happen and we think it wont come back and bite us.

however @ topic, graduates of the affected schools can still practice medicine elsewhere besides the UK, right. And they're not barred from practicing within nigeria itself i suppose.



the universities in question need to work on getting their accreditation back at least in nigeria. Dont know about the private schools, but its imperative for the public ones, imo.


The UK is trying to reduce the number of foreign trained health professionals working in the country, or looking for jobs in the country, so i cant say i'm surprised.

and neither is it anything to panic over, imo.

I must confess I'm very surprised to see Uniben on the list.

“The decision only applies to students who graduated from those medical schools after the MDCN suspended their accreditation,” Day said

the dates in question are dec 10, 2010 for some of the universities, and april 1 2010 for others.

and i wish many of these nigerian students would stop typing in shorthand and upgrade their english skills before more universities and other disciplines get suspended.

our fathers and grandfathers didnt have all these amenities [books, media etc] we have now, yet they still wrote passable english.

@ tpia are u an ifumsite

Calm down, peeps.! The Nigerian UNI System is F-U*C:K*E*D!!, no doubt about that. The Brits are even pitying us by allowing any nigerian medical graduate at all, They just select d smartest of them (smartness is not acquired in the uni) Its all part of the brain drain.
If it weren't for government policies, IOC's in Nigeria would never hire any naija Engineering graduate, !! Its the Reality. Uni Education is not by theory alone. There are cases of Youth Corpers that cannot fill forms, thats a collective shame! None of our unis is even among the top 1000 on the globe! UNILAG is but a local Champion, Imo

This isn't the time to exonorate a particular school or looking for which school is better. It is time for our government tp wake up to their responsibilities and ensure that our schools improve in terms of all disciplines. It is more than shameful that a school in Nigeria is blacklisted abroad for a particular course and whether we like it or not, it indirectly affects all schools and programs as some schools may use it as a yardstick particularly, if our medicine which is suppose to be one of the best programs in universities because it deals with life is substandard then, what about other programs

UNN? You can't blame them but our heroes whose effort is fetching us bad result now!

MB;BS Unilorin no dey carry last, so glad to parade that certificate around.
