The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria on Tuesday inducted 250 foreign-trained medical and dental graduates who passed its June 2026 Assessment Examination, authorising them to practise in Nigeria.
The graduates were inducted during the council’s Pledge-Taking and Sponsorship Ceremony held in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the inductees comprised 238 medical doctors and 12 dental surgeons.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Registrar of MDCN, Prof. Fatima Kyari, congratulated the newly inducted professionals and urged them to uphold the ethics, discipline and professionalism expected of medical and dental practitioners.
Kyari said the successful candidates had fulfilled the council’s requirements for registration after completing the prescribed assessment process for foreign-trained graduates seeking to practise in Nigeria.
