Medical Students of Kaduna State University 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 worthy 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.

It is hoped that the Governor at a time as this will look favourably to the accreditation issue, this students have suffered vigorous screening exercise only for their dreams to be crushed by government policies.

cc:lalastic, Seun!

They shouldn't have applied to the institution knowing fully well that it is yet to be accredited. El Rufai should facilitate the med school with proper equipment and lecturers.

Okk, Next story pls

Why should schools continue to run unaccredited programmes? This won't stop candidates from applying for the medical courses and won't also stop the school from admitting. quite unfortunate.

There problem there headace

How many years should a degree really last?

Aboki doctors

go and study agriculture, u refuse

ok

The governor should rather send those protesting students to Uganda instead.

As long as nobody is held responsible, schools will continue running non accredited programmes.


Naija Universities....Scamming students since 1980.

Fake doctors to b

Hmmmmmmm

Commander in Chief of Space Bookers.

What do you call a student of Kaduna State University? Kasumu I guess

hmmm OK.

.

In other news, the same school (Kaduna State University) would be holding its 2nd convocation on the 12th of December, 2015.

Feel sorry for these students, this about same issue that comes up Evey year, but why will a state govt decide to spend money in training about 40med students tin Uganda when same amount o money would HV been used to develop the medical sch for speedy accreditation, most likely indigenous students were sent to Uganda leaving other student stranded. You may want to invoke the cadava rampage as used by d delsu med student many yrs ago. Hoping govt wil look into the plight of these student...cos these re already wasted year...

Support quality education

hmmm,

Sad,

Imagine instead of solving the problem they want to send 40 students abroad to Uganda. Why not sponsor them all to accredited universities?

What criteria would be used to select the 40.


Are we really sane in this country.
