He said, “I had plans to return to Nigeria, take the MDCN exams and start residency but the council’s position has truncated my plans.’’
He said, “I feel the council had been looking for a means to get back at us, so the war was a big opportunity. It’s not just about the war or online classes but the way they perceive foreign students. I spent six years in medical school. I fled for my life during the war and I can’t abandon my certificate. I believe it’s ideal to be licensed in one’s home country. I’m holding on and believing that the council might reconsider its decision.
Similarly, a professor of orthodontics at the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Chukwudi Onyeaso, stated that the situation in Ukraine wasn’t the making of the students, noting however that there was no excuse for quackery as the profession involved saving lives and once a mistake was made, lives might be lost.
He, however, said that on a larger scale, learning from the issue, every Nigerian should be constructive and make the government realise that they needed to put the universities in good shape so that there would be a reduction in the exodus of promising Nigerian students to other countries. He said, “We are not looking for shortcuts. The MDCN has not taken a wrong decision. Universities can take them but they have to give details of what they did in their previous years to guide in assigning them to the right levels. Nigeria is losing on all ends. The government should do the needful. You cannot develop a nation when the university education is faulty because that’s where the manpower lies.
Contacted for its comment on the issue, the acting Head, Planning, Registration and Statistics, and assistant registrar, MDCN, Dr Henry Okwuokenye, said that he wasn’t authorised to comment on the issue as he was on vacation. He referred our correspondent to the council’s registrar.
I see you....!
God please save us from this hardship and evil government. Nigerians both home and abroad are suffering. We promise to make it right come 2023, on PeterObi mandate we stand. Obidatti023
