Prof. Arogundade made the appeal while addressing journalists at a pre-convocation press briefing in Lagos.
According to the college president, despite being saddled with the responsibilities to produce adequate numbers of medical and dental specialists of the highest quality, “the most daunting challenge undermining attainment of this function is gross underfunding by the federal government”.
“The result of this is poor stock of our college library, which ought to have been the best reference medical library in the country for residents doctors and consultants.
The College Pathological Museum is also yet to be fully developed.
“Inadequate fund has also hindered the circulation of the College journal which is one of few journals in Nigeria listed in the world-acclaimed ‘Index Medicus,” Prof. Arogundade said.
