He also emphasized the global recognition of the University’s MBBS Medicine and Surgery programme by the General Medical Council (GMC), United Kingdom, which allows Nile MBBS graduates to apply directly for the GMC’s Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) test and subsequently register to practice medicine in the UK— without requiring individual qualification assessments.
In his remarks, Dr. Jonathan praised Prof. Dogo’s leadership and commended Nile University for its commitment to holistic excellence— not only in academics but also in character-building, innovation, and global competitiveness.
