Thomas Adewumi University (TAU) in Oko, Kwara State, has achieved a major milestone. The National Universities Commission (NUC) has granted full accreditation for the university to run Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and B.Sc. Radiography programmes. This exciting news means TAU can now train students to become medical doctors and radiographers, adding to its growing list of academic offerings.
The approval came after a thorough evaluation by the NUC, which confirmed that TAU has met the required standards to deliver these programmes. The university’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Francisca Oladipo, shared the news with joy, stating that it marks a significant step in TAU’s mission to provide quality education and contribute to Nigeria’s healthcare sector. She emphasized that the new programmes will equip students with the skills needed to address the country’s medical challenges.
The MBBS programme will prepare students to become competent medical doctors, while the Radiography programme will train professionals in medical imaging techniques, such as X-rays and scans, which are critical for diagnosing health conditions. Both programmes are designed to meet global standards while addressing local healthcare needs.
TAU has invested heavily in state-of-the-art facilities to support these courses. The university now boasts modern laboratories, a well-equipped library, and qualified lecturers to ensure students receive top-notch training. The NUC’s approval also confirms that TAU has the infrastructure and academic staff to deliver these programmes effectively.
