The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has banned the admission of medicine and surgery undergraduates into Yobe State University for the 2023/2024 academic session.
This was made known in a circular with reference number YSU/P/CMS/CIR/Vol. 1/15 dated 18th July 2023 and issued to the general public by the management of the varsity.
The circular captioned, ‘STOPPAGE OF MBBS I ADMISSION FOR 2023/2024 ACADEMIC SESSION BY MEDICAL AND DENTAL COUNCIL OF NIGERIA (MDCN)’, may have been unconnected with accreditation issues.
The circular reads, “Reference to the accreditation visitation report MDCN/1390/Vol. I/65 to Yobe State University by the team from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria on 27 & 28 April 2023 on the above subject matter.”
“I write to inform you that, the MDCN has directed the stoppage of MBBS 1 admission for the 2023/2024 academic session, intending candidates and parents should bear with us, please”.
