I am not surprised. Sooner or later it will affect other professions. May God help Nigeria, else everything might come to a standstill.

Loss of accreditation for our medical schools should be a very serious matter.
It means that the quality of medical education in those universities are below
standard. It means that the training that local doctor got is inferior. It is not
the fault of the students or the professors or even the University. It is the
refusal of the governments to fully fund the universities.
This should be a wake up call to our leaders to stop the corruption, money grab,
and support our higher education.
Nigeria spend the lowest percentage of GNP on education of any major country
in Africa. Ghana and South  Africa spend more money on education than Nigeria.
As long as Nigerian leaders refused to provide adequate funding for higher
education, the medical education will continue to suffer. Soon other nations will
follow UK's lead and reject our doctors. South Africa may do so soon.

This is one reason why Nigerian leaders go overseas for medical service. They
know what they created at home. Our current leaders are just determined to
ruin our country for personal gains. A senator's annual compensation (salary
plus benefits) is enough to fund a medical school in Nigeria. Add the stolen
money to that, you can build and equip two specialist hospitals.

So Dan Fulani, what do you think can be done? We Nigerians just talk no spine so the leaders will continue until NO MORE OIL FROM NIGER DELTA. " To your tent Nigerian"

Medical graduates from nine universities in Nigeria will no longer be able to obtain licenses to practice in the United Kingdom, following a decision by the UK's General Medical Council (GMC) to ban the higher institutions.

The GMC, a body of independent regulators which registers medical doctors to practise in the UK, took the decision to bar graduates from the nine universities from writing PLAB.

PLAB is the UK exam that enables non-UK Medical graduates to undertake post-graduate medical training in the country.

The affected graduates are those who graduated after December 10, 2010 from Ambrose Ali University, Ebonyi State University, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Nnamdi Azikiwe University, University of Jos, University of Nigeria and the University of Port Harcourt.

It also applies to those who graduated on or after April 1, 2010 from Igbinedion University College of Health Sciences and the University of Benin.

According to Jason Day of the GMC's press office, the schools were axed because they no longer meet the required standards for practise in the UK.

He added that the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) had also advised that they suspend accreditation of some medical schools in the country.

“The decision only applies to students who graduated from those medical schools after the MDCN suspended their accreditation,” Day said

This shouldn't be a surprise to any one..I see it coming n trust that! if these fools/animals/morons that call themselves 'leaders' fail to act fast n do what is right in our education system that is already in shamble!. believe me soon all Nigerian universities will b blacklist not only in U.K. but counties like somalia,ethiopia n afghanistan ..  Lips Sealed Grin  Embarrassed

Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before other sectors will be affected. The rich and  the affluent fly abroad even when they have a Tooth-ache, Instead of making our Universities up-to-date by Providing the much-needed funds.
.
 I won,t be surprised if the British Authorities  have found out that there are MANY FAKE NIGERIAN GRADUATES ABOUND. hence these  drastic measures!!!....

God Forbid the day when, anyone who is identified as a NIGERIAN is BARED FROM TRAVELING ABROAD............Because of our mostly negative Reputation!!!!  Maybe then the "BIG MEN" will be forced to stay home and "ENJOY" the Typical Nigerian  Medical treatment  ( which millions of  normal Nigerians "ENJOY"!!!!
