There is anxiety among hundreds of medical students at the College of Medicine of the University of Ibadan (UI).
Patients seeking clinical services at the University College Hospital (UCH) are also apprehensive with the withdrawal of services of over 300 members of the Medical and Dental Consultant Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) at the university and the hospital.
MDCAN had declared an indefinite strike on Tuesday to press home its demands for the National Universities Commission (NUC) to withdraw the circular requiring clinical lecturers to acquire a PhD as a condition for career progression in Nigerian universities.
