UNN graduates 40 Vet doctors

Veterinary Council of Nigeria (VCN) has inducted 40 fresh graduates of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, warning them to shun unethical practices.
The council’s Registrar, Dr Marcus Avon, issued the warning during the 35th oath-taking ceremony of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, saying the licence issued to the graduates was for one year and subject to renewal by the council.
“The probation licence given to you to practise will expire in 2015. If any of you is found wanting within this one year, his or her licence will not be renewed. You are expected to obey the ethics of the profession as well as respect your senior colleagues in the profession,” he said.
He congratulated the parents of the graduates for investing in the education of their children, saying education was vital to development.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof Benjamin Ozumba, said he was optimistic that the graduates have been found worthy in character and learning by the university.
“I have no doubt that this university, having found you worthy in character and learning by conferring this degree on you, expect you to be good ambassador to the university. The oath you have taken today requires you to use your scientific knowledge and skills acquired for the benefit of the society. The university appreciates the contributions of VCN in training of our veterinary students,” he stated.
Prof Vincent Shoyinka, Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, urged the new doctors to adhere to the ethics of the profession at all times
“I congratulate you all in your status as members of VCN, the faculty is grateful to VCN especially on the full accreditation of the faculty. I urge you to obey ethics of the profession so as to give the society the best as well as earn integrity for yourself,” he said.
