FUHSO Defends MBBS Accreditation Process Amid Student Protests

The Federation of University Health Sciences Organizations (FUHSO) publicly defended the medical school accreditation process after a wave of student protests. FUHSO asserted that the accreditation standards—covering curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, clinical training, and infrastructure—are rigorously reviewed by independent experts and comply with national medical council regulations. The organization said the protests stem from misinformation and isolated grievances, not systemic flaws, and urged students to engage through official channels rather than disruptive demonstrations. FUHSO also pledged to increase transparency by publishing audit results and holding stakeholder meetings to address legitimate concerns. Views Nigeria
