The Rivers State House of Assembly has expressed satisfaction with the construction of the Faculty Buildings in the College of Medical Sciences at the Rivers State University, Port Harcourt.
Speaking during an oversight function/facility tour, last Monday, the Chairman, House Committee on Health, Hon. Samuel Ogeh, noted that his committee was impressed with the Faculty of Clinical Sciences, and Faculty of Basic Clinical Sciences buildings which had been completed and ready for commissioning.
Ogeh, who was accompanied by other members of the committee, stated that the establishment of the College of Medical Sciences at the Rivers State University was in line with Governor Nyesom Wike’s commitment towards improving health education in the state, stressing that with the completion of the faculty buildings, the governor had fulfilled his promise to Rivers people.
He commended the authorities of the university for using the funds approved judiciously and for supervising the construction of the faculty buildings from foundation level to completion, adding that the state can now boast of a functional College of Medical Sciences.
In his remarks, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Nlerum Okogbule, thanked the House Committee on Health for the visit, noting that the university was established in 1980 but quickly added that the Wike-led administration had the vision to establish the College of Medical Sciences.
Okogbule expressed gratitude to Wike for his keen interest in the development of the university, stating that with the massive structures and state-of-the-art facilities, the College of Medical Sciences could be described as the best, not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa.
