In a landmark event blending tradition with progress, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Abuja hosted its inaugural White Coat and Oath-Taking Ceremony on Tuesday, marking a significant milestone in the institution’s history.
The ceremony served a dual purpose: officially inducting 62 new veterinary doctors into the profession and initiating 500- and 600-level students into their clinical years—a pivotal transition from theoretical learning to practical, hands-on veterinary medicine.

Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Enem Simon Ikechukwu, opened the event with a passionate address, calling it an “epoch-making occasion that blends pride, joy, and gratitude.”

He lauded the graduates’ resilience in navigating the rigors of veterinary education and urged them to carry forward the values of integrity, innovation, and service.

“Being a veterinarian is more than a profession; it is a calling,” Prof. Ikechukwu noted. “Through this oath-taking ceremony, we are not sending you off, but sending you forth—to conquer challenges and bring victories home.”

The event also honored the pioneers who laid the foundation for the Faculty’s success. The late Prof. Nuhu Omeiza Yaqub, who spearheaded the establishment of the Faculty despite formidable obstacles, and Prof. Ikwe Ajogi, the Faculty’s first Dean, were both fondly remembered.

Their legacy of excellence continues, with the Dean proudly noting that this marks the 11th graduating class since the Faculty’s inception.

The Veterinary Council of Nigeria (VCN) played a central role in the ceremony, administering the official Veterinary Oath and formally recognizing the graduates as licensed professionals. The Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association also welcomed the inductees, highlighting the growing impact of veterinary professionals on public health, agriculture, and animal welfare across the nation.

For clinical students donning their white coats for the first time, the day was both celebratory and symbolic. Prof. Ikechukwu emphasized the responsibility that comes with wearing the white coat, a universal symbol of medical ethics and professionalism.

“There must be a change in attitude,” he advised. “Separate yourselves from distractions and embrace the seriousness that clinical practice demands.”

The ceremony attracted a host of distinguished guests, including industry leaders, university officials, and proud family members. A special highlight was the presence of the newly appointed Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Patricia Lar, who received a warm welcome from the Faculty as she embarks on her new role.

As the ceremony concluded, one message resonated clearly: the future of veterinary medicine in Nigeria is in capable hands. With their oaths sworn and white coats freshly donned, these young professionals are ready to make their mark—not just in clinics and laboratories, but in communities and industries across the nation.
