Ondo State University of Medical Science To Begin Academic Activities This October

The Ondo State University of Medical Science will commence

academic activities in October, 2015, starting with the

admission of Direct Entry students while students will be

admitted into 100 level through the Unified Tertiary

Matriculation Examination in 2016.


The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Dayo Adeyanju, said

this on Monday in an interview with newsmen in Akure, the

state capital.

Adeyanju said arrangements had been concluded for the

beginning of academic activities in the specialised

institution.

He explained that the government had provided needed

equipment for the school, for the use of the students while

the Medical Village in Ondo, which comprised different

specialised hospitals, would be specifically used as the

students' teaching hospital.

The commissioner added, "We are adequately ready for the

academic business in the Ondo State University of Medical

Science. The admitted Direct Entry students will

automatically start from 200 Level. The students will start

attending classes in October while the students to 100 level

will be admitted through UTME next year.

"The equipment are ready, the administrative staff are

already on the ground and have started working on the

smooth take-off. I am very sure there will not be any

problem as far as the take-off of the school is concerned .
