A high-powered delegation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) recently visited the yet-to-be-unveiled Transatlantic Medicine and Health Science University in Umuchukwu, Anambra State.

The university, spearheaded by US-based medical doctor and philanthropist Dr. Godwin Maduka, is set to commence academic activities in September 2024.

The NUC team, led by Executive Secretary Mr. Chris Maiyaki, expressed satisfaction with the quality of the structures put in place to house the medical university. Maiyaki applauded Dr. Maduka for his decision to undertake such a gigantic project and expressed the readiness of the university regulator to offer the necessary support in ensuring that more opportunities are available for human capital development in the country.

According to Maiyaki, with a project of this nature, Nigeria will groom the needed manpower to provide medical services to the teeming populace. The proposed university boasts a 17-storey building, reputed to be the tallest in the Southeast and South-South regions, as well as residences for principal officers, lecture theatres, administrative blocks, hostels, and other facilities.

Dr. Maduka, in his remarks, emphasized the necessity of the project in view of the ‘japa’ syndrome that has hit the medical industry. He assured that the university will be fully functional in September 2024, admitting students and commencing other academic activities. The medical institution will house programs in pharmacy, dental, nursing, radiology technology, and other allied health and research fields.

The jubilant Umuchukwu community accorded the NUC inspection team a befitting reception during their visit. A team from the Project Implementation Committee was also present at the inspection tour.
