proposed Federal University of Medical Sciences and Biomedical Technology designated for the South-South region in Bayelsa State.
The groups, who made the call during a joint advocacy visit to the Bayelsa Medical University, BMU, campus in Yenagoa, the state capital, urged the Federal Government to take over the BMU facilities already on the ground for the proposed institution, rather than starting the building of the institution from the scratch.
Addressing DAILY POST after a tour of the facilities in the school, James said, “We are on an advocacy visit based on the recently passed bill for every geopolitical zone to have a federal university of medical sciences and biomedical technology and we felt that Bayelsa State already has a befitting place to be used for that of the South-South which is the Bayelsa Medical University.
“This is not a political issue and therefore we are calling on the state governor, state assembly, and national assembly members from Bayelsa State to work together to make this project a reality because it will create employment, increase access to medical education, improved our health institutions and promote biomedical technology and research.”
Mtcheew, una don start again, it should be built in any of the south-south states Abeg.
