FUTAMSAITEs have never played it small out of their classrooms. Even while being stuck in 300L, they've performed exceptionally, in and out of school. These bright minds deserve to progress and show their exceptional abilities in their clinicals.#savefutambbs @FutaNigeria

@dudubody @NiMSA_Nigeria @nationalnma @FutaBro @omo_Akinbile @Nigerian_Doctor @aproko_doctor We want to move forward in medical school like our mates. 300L A, B and C are enough. Is it until we have D and E? #savefutambbs

An MBBS student of FUTA sent me this. I would like to call the attention of everyone involved and those who could also lend their voices @NiMSA_Nigeria, @nationalnma, @FutaBro, @omo_Akinbile, @Nigerian_Doctor, @aproko_doctor __________________________________________ WHAT IS HAPPENING TO FUTA MBBS STUDENTS? I have tried to keep quiet for a long time. I kept telling myself things would improve. I kept hoping the school would fix this. But at this point, keeping quiet feels irresponsible. This is about the MBBS programme at Federal University of Technology Akure — and it is urgent. 5 YEARS… AND STILL IN 300 LEVEL The pioneer MBBS students were admitted in 2021 and matriculated in 2022. Today — five years later — they are still stuck in 300 level pre-clinical. Five years. Their mates in that same university are preparing for graduation this year. These students don’t even know when they will move to clinicals. Imagine watching everyone you started with move forward while your life is on pause. WHY ARE THEY STUCK? Medical students cannot move to clinical training without accreditation from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN). But after all these years, accreditation has still not happened. Right now: • There are five different sets in the programme • Three entire sets are stuck in 300 level • Nobody is moving forward How do you start a medical programme and still not be ready for accreditation years later? PARENTS ARE NOW BEING ASKED TO FUND ACCREDITATION Parents were asked to contribute money for a mock accreditation. Yes — parents are now being asked to fund something that should have been planned before this programme even began. And since then? • No clear updates. • No clear timeline. • No visible progress. Just promises. And prayers. REAL LIVES ARE ON HOLD This is not just a “delay.” This is: • Years of youth slipping away • Families pouring money into uncertainty • Students living with anxiety and frustration • Dreams being paused indefinitely Five years of a young person’s life cannot be treated like this. THE QUESTIONS NO ONE IS ANSWERING Students and parents deserve to know: 1. When exactly is MDCN accreditation coming? 2. What is the official timeline? 3. What happens if this delay continues? 4. How will these students graduate on time? 5. When is the first MB (1st professional exam) holding? Silence is not an answer. THIS IS A PLEA FOR ACTION We are asking the leadership of FUTA to: • Communicate transparently • Give a clear accreditation timeline • Provide real contingency plans • Prioritise the students already in the programme These students have waited long enough. They deserve progress. They deserve clarity. They deserve accountability. Please share. 🙏🏽 Awareness matters.

No enough Doctors but FUTA MBBS students are not progressing #SAVEFUTAMBBS

Students are paying the price for systemic failure. The FUTAMBBS accreditation crisis is unacceptable. Fix the system. Save FUTA Medicine!!!! #savefutambbs

Silence and lackadaisical attitude will get us nowhere.. We will fight for this.. #savefutambbs

We are just writing exams and doing everything we are meant to do as students but no accreditation, so no promotion to the next class. #savefutambbs #accreditfutambbs

There comes a point where silence becomes compromise. That point is now. We’ve waited and trusted, but the future of FUTA MBBS students is at stake. We will speak. We will act. #savefutambbs

We can't keep leaving our lives like this. #savefutambbs

@MedixpX No one is going to trust promises and uncertain timelines anymore. Stop playing with our lives. #savefutambbs

@Dr_Afo All we want is results from all the promises made and to move forward. There's no set that won't be affected as pioneers have spent 5 years in preclinicals #savefutambbs

There comes a point where silence is no longer strength, but compromise. Where waiting quietly stops being patience and starts costing us our future. This is that point. We have waited. We have trusted. But the future of FUTA MBBS students cannot remain uncertain.

Day 2 of fighting to save their future and the future of Nigeria's healthcare system. The doctor‑to‑patient ratio in this country is already dangerously low. Yet here we are, watching a group of young Nigerians who willingly chose to dedicate their lives to healing others, being left to rot by the very system that needs them. No clarity. No reassurance. No direction from the school management or the concerned bodies. That kind of silence is not just frustrating, it is cruel. These students have done their part. They gained admission. They showed up. They studied. They trusted the system. But now, through no fault of their own, they are stuck. This is not just about academic delay. It is about mental health. It is about watching their mates move forward while they remain in one place. It is about asking simple, fair questions and receiving nothing but silence. FUTA, until when? They are not wrong to be tired. They are not wrong to speak up. Please, keep fighting. Keep demanding. Nigerians can see your struggle, even if the authorities pretend not to. #SaveFUTAMBBS #AccreditationNow #NoMoreDelay #FiveYearsIsEnough

@winexviv Sir, please we need you to lend your voice.

@Madridbyheart1 Just imagine! FUTA that many thought was a salvation to their MBBS pursuit, has now become their source of agony because of stagnation. Omo...#savefutambbs

Not to make jest of those affected. I applied to study Medicine at FUTA when it was first accredited by the NUC in 2021, and I wasn’t admitted. I was so sad. Fast forward to 2024, I gained admission into another university, and I’ll be writing my First MB in a few months.

It’s a long journey ahead We say NO to any impedance !!!!

This growing trend of schools using mbbs as revenue generation with no plan to actually deliver is very insane. Just ruining people's future plans for vibes

@OlabodeUnilorin Real oh, YouTube tutorials are the real lecture rooms.

At this point, university feels like going to class to mark attendance…then going home to actually teach yourself. 😔

Goddddd. I don't know if they don't understand how much this waste of time steals possibilities away from people 😡😡
