Medical Students of Kaduna State University (KASU)
have taken their plight (lack of accreditation) to the
streets.
.
At the time of filing this report, they are headed for
Kashim Ibrahim House 'hoping to cry their hearts
out to the governor on the issue of their
accreditation' according to one of the students
(name withheld).
.
It is to worth of note that the same students have
been stranded for the better part of the 5 years
they've spent in school (3 years to be exact) after a
protest on 9th September the Commissioners of
Health and Education together assured the students
that all facilities will be put in place within 3 weeks
and MDCN will come and give the school
accreditation to allow the students continue with
their studies.
.
These promises were not upheld and the students
about a week ago wrote the Governor on the need to avert an imminent Peaceful protest which they promised will be continuous and unrepentant until they are accredited.
.
Recently, the government of Kaduna State has through the media made it clear the Medical
.
Students were no longer an emergency since it
decided to send about 40 students to Uganda for the
next six years this in the eye of experts is a cruel and misguided attempt; because accrediting KASU will make for the graduation of over 200 doctors within
just a 5 year period, yet the government chooses to
lavish an even greater sum in training a meager 40
for 6 years.
