The Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria has carried out an assessment visit to Maduka University, located in Ekwegbe-Nsukka, as part of its dedication to enhancing professional standards within the field of Medical Laboratory Science.

As per a statement released by the university on Saturday, the group, headed by Professor Charles Onyenekwe, comprised Dr Helen Waribo, Mr Stanley Nkemakolam (Acting Head of the Department, Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria), and Mrs Regina Nnadozie (Assistant Chief, Department of Education), and was welcomed by the Chancellor, Dr Samuel Maduka Onyishi; the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Charles Ogbulogo; the Registrar, Mr John Omeje; senior university officials; and faculty members from the Department of Medical Laboratory Science.

Greeting the guests, Registrar Omeje highlighted the increasing importance of Medical Laboratory Science in society, pointing out that the council’s visit was a clear indication of the profession’s worth and possibilities.

He conveyed confidence that the initiative would drive the department to new levels of success.

In his speech entitled, “The Power of Tradition in the Path of Human Progress,” Vice-Chancellor Ogbulogo emphasized the role of culture and tradition in forming communities, noting that civilizations that advance do so through long-standing customs.

Ogbulogo stated that the term ‘culture’ originates from the Latin word ‘cultura,’ which initially meant farming and tending to crops.

Gradually, he observed, the concept has broadened to signify the improvement of people via learning and societal integration.

The Deputy Chancellor pointed out that culture has developed to mirror the progression of human communities and their common goals, emphasizing that as societies progress, they develop new structures and ideas—like religion, folklore, currency, governance, and oversight institutions—all striving for acceptance and significance.

Ogbulogo showed happiness upon welcoming a team focused on promoting Medical Laboratory Science in Nigeria, promising the visitors that the university is dedicated to maintaining the profession’s principles and heritage.

In his statement, Chancellor Onyishi attributed his involvement in education and medical sciences to a promise he made to God.

He showed enthusiasm about the growing collaboration between Maduka University and the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria, emphasizing that the university will consistently focus on delivering high-quality services at every level.

Onyishi suggested that the Maduka University Teaching Hospital in Nsukka was about to start functioning and expressed good luck to the Medical Laboratory Science group for their task.

In response, team leader Onyenekwe expressed gratitude to the university for the welcoming atmosphere and stated that the visit was intended to assess the department and provide helpful recommendations.

He emphasized the vital role of laboratory scientists in assisting doctors with their diagnoses, cautioning that inadequately trained professionals might steer medical choices in the wrong direction.

He highlighted the council’s duty to ensure organizations meet standards that reduce mistakes in training and professional work.

Upon reviewing the facilities of the Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Onyenekwe praised the university for establishing systems that comply with the temporary minimum academic requirements for education.

He pledged that the MLSCN would remain collaborating with Maduka University to ensure high-standard education for upcoming medical laboratory scientists.
