Senate Advances Bill for FUTA Teaching Hospital
The Nigerian Senate has moved forward on a bill to establish a Teaching Hospital for the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA). Spearheaded by Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire, the bill recently passed its second reading. Initiated to support FUTA’s Medicine and Surgery program, the proposed hospital aims to assist students entering their clinical years. Currently, FUTA plans a temporary agreement with the Ondo State Government for its students to utilize Akure’s General Hospital. Senate President Godswill Akpabio has tasked the Committee on Tertiary Institutions to examine the bill further within four weeks. For more details, check the original source here.
