The Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUT Minna) has achieved a significant milestone in its expansion into medical education with the official commissioning of critical infrastructure at its Gidan Kwano Main Campus.

On Friday, January 9, 2026, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Faruk Adamu Kuta, inaugurated the newly completed Gross Anatomy Laboratory and a dedicated Female Medical Students’ Hostel, solidifying the University’s readiness to commence full academic activities in the College of Medical Sciences and Health Technology (CMSHT) for the 2025/2026 academic session.
