Abia Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has lamented that students seeking to study medicine in the state have only the state university (ABSU) to apply to.

He said the institution could only admit what is approved for it by statutory authorities, stressing that the scenario had negatively affected training of more doctors in the state.

The governor, therefore, welcomed the introduction of medicine courses by Gregory University, Uturu. Ikpeazu spoke when he received the accreditation delegation from the Medical And Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), led by its Registrar, Dr. Tab Sanusi, at Government House, Umuahia.
