The College was formally established by the University of Maiduguri Act 83 of 1979 comprising four faculties, namely; Basic Medical Sciences, Allied Health Sciences, Clinical Sciences and Dentistry with Late Professor George Miller Edington as its founding Provost. Among the pioneer members of its academic staff were Professor D. B. Grillo (Department of Anatomy), Professor J. K. Segupta (Department of Physiology), Dr. P. K. Joseph (Department of Biochemistry) and Professor Harold Scarborough (Department of Medicine). On the sad demise of Professor G. M. Edington in January 1981, Professor H. Scarborough succeeded him as the second Provost of the College. The former was credited for the sound planning and developing the Pre-clinical Departments of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry.
