Babcock University has welcomed 93 newly qualified doctors, marking a significant milestone in the careers of the newly qualified doctors.

The event which was the 9th induction ceremony, took place at the university’s 600-seater Medical School Auditorium. The ceremony brought together dignitaries, professional colleagues, family members, and friends.

In his welcome address, the President/Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Ademola Tayo, urged the medical doctors to prioritize their calling over financial gain.

“In a world full of misery and pains, you are today blessed to be called for a special kind of service. Be courageous when things get tough and seek divine guidance always. You are trained to be missionaries, not mercenaries”, the VC said.

Representative of the Registrar of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), Prof. Olusegun Akinyinka, emphasized the importance of operating within their competence and upholding professional ethics, regardless of their global practice location.

Medical Elder, Dr. Ebere Okereke, stressed leadership as service, not position or title, noting, “The nation needs you. Always remember your roots and learn to give back to the community that nurtured you.”

The Ogun State Chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Lukman Ogunjimi, encouraged the inductees to pursue knowledge and technology and PhDs to translate “brain drain” to “brain gain”.

Speaking on behalf of the Orion 9 Grad Class parents, Engineer Tunde Osinjolu, echoed this sentiment, “The world is waiting for you. The world needs you.Please go and acquire knowledge and technology. But come back and give back. Treat your patients with empathy and kindness.”

Class representative, Dr. Abikoye Mogbekeloluwa expressed gratitude to the faculty and leadership of the College of Health and Medical Sciences. “Through it all, hope remained our driving force. With every challenge, we grew stronger and more determined to thrive under pressure”, he said.

Provost of the Benjamin Carson College of Medical and health sciences, Prof. John Sotunsa, was there with other officers to give their support to the young medical professionals, equipped to make a positive impact in the healthcare sector.
