The Provost of the College of Medical Sciences of Modibbo Adama University, Yola, Prof Adamu Girei, who stated this to journalists, added that as many as 17 medically-related departments are needed for a full-fledged medical programme.
Giving insight into what makes medical studies expensive, Adamu Bakare said: “For virtually all other programmes you apply for, the lecturers in the department train and give you a degree in that programme. For medicine, we have 17 departments, all of which contribute to producing only one degree. Each of the 17 departments produces one degree.
“So, it’s not every Vice Chancellor that wants to start a medical programme. The facilities are very expensive. The salaries of the lecturers too are very high.”
