This is because of the rich faculty FUTA has both in human and material resources. With the full accreditation of the MBBS programme in FUTA, and the recent seal of approval of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, it lays to final rest all agitations and anxieties expressed in the past and gives credence to the positive status of the medical programme at the institution.”
