He said it is the determination of the university to ensure that its medical school is  one of the best in the country, adding that with the acquisition, the university is now  the second in Nigeria that will have such  equipment.

Prof. Sanusi expresses that with the facilities and manpower at the Medical College of the university, the Federal Government would approve a teaching hospital for the institution.

He commended the Nasarawa State government for donating a newly-built hospital to the university.

In his remarks, Prof. Ahmed Yakubu-Ashuku, Provost of the College of Medicine of the university, said the importance of the Anatomage was enormous to the teaching of practical anatomy.

“Unlike the use of cadaver, this machine allows for repeat of dissection of the human body and its parts and even studying its functions in a real life situation.

Earlier, Dr Abdulmumuni Lawal, Head of Anatomy Department, commended the management of the institution for procuring the machine.

Dr Lawal, who is also the acting Dean of the College, said the images programmed in the machine were those of real humans, saying the department was still training its staff on how to use the equipment to teach practical anatomy.
