Prior to being permitted to travel abroad, the VC wants medical students to sign a 5-year bond

The vice chancellor requested that the government provide the required welfare packages for health workers in order to facilitate their work.Before graduating and leaving Nigeria, medical students in government-owned institutions should be required to sign a bond promising to work for the nation for five years, according to Prof. Adesegun Fatusi, Vice Chancellor of the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo.The suggestion was made by Fatusi on the sidelines of the Association of Clinical and Academic Physiotherapists of Nigeria (ACAPN)'s seven-day (7th) Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting, which concludes on October 21 at UNIMED.He said that the Nigerian government should benefit immensely from medical personnel trained with government resources. “I believe firmly that anyone who has gone to government school under government sponsorship must be bonded to serve the country for five years before he/she goes and I have absolutely no apology for that.
