Doctors Want DVC To Improve Medical Education
Medical Doctors under
the aegis of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) branch of the Association of Specialist Medical Doctors in Academics (ASMDA) have called on the new Deputy Vice Chancellor (DVC) of the institution, Professor Hakeem Fawehinmi, to improve its medical education.
Making the call recently during a courtesy visit on the new DVC in his office, Branch Chairman of ASMDA, Professor Princewill Chike, recalled the contributions of Professor Fawehinwi when he was Acting Head of Department, Human Anatomy and Dean, Faculty of Basic Medical Services.
According to the branch boss, given his antecedents in his previous positions, the body has confidence that he is a suitable choice for the post of DVC.
“We are very impressed by your numerous achievements in the medical profession and sterling leadership qualities as former HOD of Human Anatomy, and Dean of the Faulty of Basic Medical Sciences.
“We have no doubt that you will bring the same tested leadership qualities you exhibited then to bear on your new position as DVC”, he said.
Professor Chike used the forum to urge Fawehinmi to use his position as DVC to “advance the cause of Medical education in the University (UNIPORT), which is your primary constituency”. “ASMDA”, he continued, “will continue to support you to succeed the same way we had previously done to you as our dean”.
In his response, Professor Fahehinmi, who was visibly elated, expressed gratitude over the visit, and support ASMDA has always given him.
“From the beginning of my career, I identified with you, and I wish to place it on record that I would not have been here today without your individual and collective support.
“I want to thank you for the excellent personal and working relationship that we have established in the faculty, which has continued to grow stronger by the day.
“Let me assure you that I will continue to uphold the high standards and ethnical values for which the Faculty of Basic Medical Services and the entire College of Health Sciences are known in and outside the university”, he concluded.
