The Acting Vice Chancellor of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Prof. Mojeed Olaide Liasu, has hailed Governor Seyi Makinde for the progress recorded at the institution.
Speaking at the 13th induction of the 98 medical laboratory scientists of the university by the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria, Liasu attributed the once incessant strike to paucity of fund to pay workers and procure equipment for the training of students.
He said: “The successes recorded in the university are giant strides that could not have been achieved without the support of the owner-state governor, who continues to give the funds needed for the training of medical students and others.”
Prof. Liasu said the desire of the management is to expand its College of Health Sciences by increasing the number of academic and professional programmes to include BSc Public Health, BSc Pharmacology, BSc Health Information Management, BSc Physiotherapy, BSc Environmental Health and BSc Molecular Genetics.
The Registrar of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria, Dr. Tosan Erhabor, represented by the council’s Director of Education and Training, Dr. Aikopitanyi Induitia, praised the institution for the support given to the Department of Medical Laboratory Science.
He commended the university for producing well-trained, highly-skilled and competent medical laboratory scientists, who have been of benefit to the health sector.
Erhabor said the council was planning to increase the quota of technicians in some institutions, including LAUTECH.
