We have proved countless times that we can be the best out there if given the opportunity. Some of the brilliant minds that are stuck here 1. An Orator #savefutambbs

31 broo and still in 300L for 5yrs?? Automatically this man cannot even go into residency in some specialty like Neurosurgery in this country because Futa University management has refused to get things done and allow these guys progress fgs😔 It's so sad fr Something must be done ooo #SaveFutaMbbs Repost for wider publicity and you can tag or mention some people too in the comment section @the_beardedsina @Wizarab10 @PulseNigeria247 @Nigerian_Doctor @Dr_Chibuike_M @Dr_Pharouk @dayodeji78 @MDCNOfficial

We have gotten your assurances. Proposed dates. From ending of this month, to June. But we remember your previous promises, March 2026, December 2025, November 2024. #savefutambbs We say no, to unofficial dates. We want coordinated dates on an official memo from MDCN and FUTA.

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.

@Nigerian_Doctor Thank you!

Medicine is part of STEM. Stopping technology universities from offering medicine, is not the solution here. Accreditation timelines need to be shortened, with firm deadlines, by MDCN. Ministry of Education and the NUC need to provide competent process oversights.

We can't keep leaving our lives like this. #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. This is about

For a course of six years, we have used five years and we're not even halfway there. People are getting older, opportunities are being missed, milestones are being delayed, money is being spent. FUTA, until when? #savefutambbs

We won't back down until our accreditation date is pronounced. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #savefutambbs

At this point, it’s more than just a conversation. It's our future on the line. We have invested time, effort, sleepless nights, and sacrifices into this journey, and it’s unfair for it to be stalled by continuous delays. Accreditation must be gotten. Enough!!!#savefutambbs

@JbrandyOfficial Omo The story long guyyy

What’s happening in FUTA again ?

Futa students are going home today. Some Mbbs students are still in school and have been stucked in 300L for more than 2 yrs Some Mbbs students have been at home for more than 2 months and we don't have resumption date

I still remember the orientation FUTA did for us, where they assured us in very strong words that we wouldn't have a single day of delay. Five years later and the story is different. #savefutambbs

#savefutambbs Continue reading your books , they said.. Continue reading for what? My hobby is not reading pls..I no dey primary school.. Accreditation should get done with urgency and those responsible should show seriousness

SAVE FUTA MBBS SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION

Even in a broken system, FUTA medical students continue to achieve excellent results,Imagine what they could do if given the standard they truly deserve. This is not just negligence. This is outright injustice. How long must we wait while our future is held hostage? #savefutambbs

Imagine make brains dey waste! Five years in preclinicals is so unfair. #savefutambba
