Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has given automatic employment placement to the all the 50 medical doctors billed for graduation at the State University Medical College.
This decision followed the full accreditation of all the college courses by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) after 10 yrs of existence.
Fayemi had earlier in the year presented a coaster bus to the college and released funds for the upgrade of some facilities needed to get the final accreditation.
According to a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, “the state government under the leadership of Dr. Kayode Fayemi places a high premium on education and academic excellence and is committed to encouraging exemplars both in the academic world and in the public service.
“In line with the administration’s culture of rewarding excellence, some first-class students have had the fortune of been sent abroad on scholarship. This is in addition to giving all Law School students and graduate students in other fields scholarships”.
“The attention of Ekiti State government has been drawn to a trending report on the value of an award instituted by a private organisation in Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti.
“It is important to state that endowment of prizes and awards is strictly between the donor and the university authorities”.
Oyebode added that the government under the leadership of Dr Fayemi will not relent in its efforts at exploring various ways to encourage and reward excellence, not only in academics but across every sphere of human endeavor.
