FUOYE Matriculates 7,433 Students, to Begin Medicine Course

The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Prof. Abayomi Fasina, said on Friday that the university’s calendar had been fashioned to cover lost grounds following the eight months strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities which was recently suspended.
Fasina also said that FUOYE, with a presence in nine communities and bringing development into Ekiti State, would admit students for Medicine and Surgery in the next academic session.
The VC spoke during the 11th Matriculation ceremony of the school, where 7,433 students were officially admitted to the university.
He said, “FUOYE is living up to the responsibility of fulfilling its mandate. Little wonder that in the last JAMB, FUOYE ranked as the sixth most subscribed university in Nigeria”.
He said, “We are matriculating 7433 new students across 11 faculties. During the last matriculation ceremony, we celebrated the official takeoff of three new faculties: Pharmacy, Basic Medical Sciences, and Environmental Management and Design.

Fasina charged the students not to give room for redundancy, saying, “Our calendar is loaded with two streams running concurrently. We aspire to cover lost grounds without sacrificing academic excellence. This is in response to the realities on the ground due to the eight months lost to the ASUU strike.
“Our university is on the right path in fulfilling its duties. The University is now ranked as the sixth most subscribed University out of 216 Universities in Nigeria.
“Over 53,000 candidates are applying to FUOYE on a yearly basis. We assure you that solid academic foundational training is at the heart of this University.
