The NUC expressed readiness to support the initiative, emphasizing its significance in fostering human capital development in the country. According to Maiyaki, the university will play a crucial role in grooming the necessary manpower to provide medical services to Nigeria’s population.
Key features of the proposed university include a 17-storey building, touted as the tallest in the South East and South-South regions, along with residences for principal officers, lecture theatres, administrative, hostel, and other essential facilities.
Dr. Maduka highlighted the urgency of the project, citing the increasing trend of medical professionals seeking opportunities abroad. He reassured that the university would commence full operations in September, offering admissions to students in various medical and allied health disciplines, including pharmacy, dental, nursing, radiology technology, and research programs.
