The governor said the proposed institution would be flagged off before the end of the year.

He said the first ever university of medical science in the country would address the challenge of  brain drain in the medical sector, popularly called, “japa” syndrome.

Sanwo-Olu stated this when he inaugurated an 80-bed hospital donated by the chief of staff to the president Femi Gbajabiamila in Surulere.

The  facility which was known as Iyun Primary Health Centre before being upgraded to a full fledged hospital, was built by Gbajabiamila and renamed by the local government as Femi Gbajabiamila General Hospital.
