A new Clinical Skills and Simulation Laboratory, fully equipped by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), was officially commissioned on Friday at Bayelsa Medical University (BMU) in Yenagoa.
The facility is designed to align the university with global standards in medical education and strengthen local healthcare capacity in Bayelsa State and across Nigeria.
Speaking at the ceremony, NCDMB Executive Secretary Felix Ogbe said capacity building extends beyond the oil and gas sector to healthcare, education, engineering and logistics. He described simulation-based learning as “the global standard in medical education,” allowing students to practise clinical skills, improve decision-making, and build confidence in a controlled environment before treating live patients.

Agenda, a vision to position BMU as a global leader in medical education and research. “We are not just training doctors for today, we are nurturing digital-age physicians capable of competing on the global stage,” he said.
