Students of the Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) in Lagos State
have staged a protest over the death of one of their colleagues.
The students were unhappy with the attention given to a female student, Dazan Charity, who fell ill some days ago and died on Wednesday.
A friend of the deceased alleged that Charity was not attended to because they were unable to get 35,000 Naira requested by the medical attendants.
Another colleague of the victim, Ibraheem Emmanuel, said: “No drug is given by the school medical (you have to go and buy).
“You need to see the stress that was passed through. We were the ones that went to get injections, drugs, in fact drip that were given to Dazan Charity”.
The students maintained that they wanted the school hospital campus scrapped or the institution probed while the medical centre be fully equipped.
Channels Television’s correspondent, Mary Alale-Yusuf, who visited the campus was unable to get through to the school authority, as the students had shut the institution’s main entrance.
She also reported that the deceased student was reported to have been buried at Atan cemetery in Lagos.
Charity, 27, was a final year student of Office Management Technology and was sitting for her final exams.
