Medical professionals, nursing specialists and University academics looking for opportunities in Nigeria's Private University Sector have a fresh set of options to consider, after Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD) advertised vacancies across its College of Medicine and Health Sciences and clinical services.
The recruitment covers a broad range of specialisations. Consultant positions are available in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Family Medicine, Community Medicine, Psychiatry, Haematology, Chemical Pathology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Anatomic Pathology and General Surgery. Nursing roles span Anaesthetic, Perioperative, Nephrology and Intensive Care. On the academic side, the University is seeking candidates from Assistant Lecturer to Professor level within the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, alongside a Technologist position.
Candidates applying for clinical roles must hold valid practising licences and certifications from recognised professional bodies. All applicants are required to submit a formal letter addressed to the Registrar, an updated curriculum vitae, copies of academic and professional certificates, an NYSC discharge or exemption certificate and the contact details of at least two referees.
Applications may be submitted electronically, with the exact job title used as the email subject, or delivered as hard copies to the Registrar and Secretary to Council at ABUAD's main campus in Ado Ekiti. The University has stated that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted and has advised applicants to follow the submission guidelines carefully.
The scale and range of the recruitment point to an Institution in active expansion rather than routine staffing. For medical graduates and academics weighing their options between public and private institutions, ABUAD's drive offers a competitive environment with a University that has invested heavily in clinical infrastructure and medical training in recent years. Those who meet the requirements are advised not to delay.
