68 newly qualified medical doctors of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Oyo State have inducted into the medical profession.
The ceremony took place at the College of Health Sciences in Osogbo, Osun State capital, over ay
Speaking at their 15th induction ceremony, the university Vice Chancellor, Prof. Michael Olufisayo Ologunde, said plans have been concluded to reposition the institution to make its products competitive in the labour market.
According to a report by The Nation, Ologunde said normalcy had returned to the institution after a protracted ownership tussle between Osun and Oyo states.
He added that academic activities are proceeding without any hitch, adding that there had been a great improvement in the welfare of workers and students in the last few months.
He said: “In no distant time, the LAUTECH will be repositioned to be the toast of all. Our admission key quota will be increased, new programmes introduced, investors and donors will be sourced to assist in the physical growth of the university. I am optimistic that good times are on the way for our cherished university.”
The VC urged the inductees not to rest on their oars, but to strive to promote ethical values and good service delivery of the medical profession.
He also enjoined the inductees to demonstrate virtues that had been inculcated in them by the university.
The Provost of the College of Health Sciences, Prof. Samuel Sunday Taiwo, advised the newly inductees to be good ambassadors of the institution, saying they must not allow any “negative experience you might have suffered during your training to push you to run down the university”.
