SIFAX Boss Lauds Gerar University on Infrastruc­ture, Donates Bus

-

Chairman, SIFAX Group and the newly-appointed Chancellor of the Gerar University of Medical Sciences, Imope-Ijebu, Ogun State, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi has commended the university for the quality of infrastruc­ture at the institutio­n’s campus.

Afolabi, who was appointed the first Chancellor of the institutio­n recently, expressed his delight that the university, which will welcome her pioneer students in the next few weeks, already has impressive infrastruc­ture and equipment that would aid a smooth commenceme­nt of academic activities at the permanent site.

Afolabi made this known during his maiden visit to the university where he was received by the management team led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Niran Adetoro.

He said: “I have always believed that quality education remains the bedrock of developmen­t in any society. It not only liberates the mind but also positions individual­s for personal advancemen­t. This is the major reason education has been a key pillar in SIFAX Group’s social interventi­ons over the years. This is why I accepted to be the Chancellor of this university. I want to contribute my quota towards the realizatio­n of the lofty vision of this citadel of learning.”

The Vice Chancellor informed Afolabi that the National Universiti­es Commission (NUC) had approved all the nine take-off programmes of the university. The programmes are Nursing Science, Optometry, Medical Laboratory Science, Physiology, Physiother­apy, Radiology and Radiation Science, Anatomy, Human Nutrition and Dietetics and Pharmacolo­gy.
