Malam Adamu Adamu, Minister of Education, has declared that
it would take the country about 120 years to have the number of medical doctors
needed in Nigeria’s health sector.
The Minister spoke at the weekend during the maiden
matriculation of the Federal University of Health Sciences (FUHSO) held at its
temporary site, Otada in Otukpo Benue State.
Adamu also noted that the university would bridge the huge
gap in Nigeria’s need for medical doctors across the country.
Represented by Arc. Sunny Echono, the Permanent Secretary in
the Federal Ministry of Education, Adamu further said, “based on the existing
production rate, it will take Nigeria about 120 years to have the number of
doctors she needs, assuming all our doctors remain in the country.”
According to him, the university “will act as a catalyst,
through training, research and innovation for the effective utilisation,
exploitation, and conservation of Nigeria’s natural, economic and human
resources.”
