This is very unfair. But then Kogi state was not blessed with a good governor, but a self-serving narcissist like Yahaya Bello, who knows nothing about governance. In the past, if certain courses are not accredited, the affected university would liaise with other universities whose courses in the same field have been accredited, to transfer their students to such places, to complete their studies. Several years ago, when one or two courses in Unilorin had the same problem, their students were transferred to University of Ibadan to finish up their studies. KSU authorities should consider this option, instead of letting their medical students suffer till eternity....

That is so untrue. At the time they were admitted, their medical school had partial or interim accreditation. Some people even said full accreditation was granted in 2012, but it was downgraded to interim accreditation the following year. They had to fulfil certain conditions to get full accreditation, but then the authorities never did so, and that partial accreditation was withdrawn.

I am sick and tired of the whole situation. How can people be so cruel and greedy, what if they had children in this condition? Several times I cried my eyes out thinking when will things change, when will we have hopes for tomorrow, when are we going to make our parents smile, when are we going to achieve our dreams, all these and more. Now, we are no longer going to sit back and just watch, even God will understand!

Day 2
Protest continues at the so called teaching hospital. We are not taking this place as our teaching hospital. Because it lack minimum standard as stipulated in the MDCN red book.

.

Second day protest.... Save kogi state University College of health Science......

Second day,,,,, Save kogi state University College of health Science....

Government ooooooo ooo

Well, I feel so sorry about your plight. But you cannot keep hanging around indefinitely, waiting for government. Please try to apply for a transfer to medical schools in other state universities, or federal public tertiary institutions. It is sad, that the KSU authorities are not making any effort to resolve this problem.

What are thay still doing in d school if d programme is not accredited or partially accredited and more over there are many accredited schools scatter all over Nigeria.

I am proudly in this struggle...

Kogi state university medical students have been in the kogi state university for more than 5years stagnating and never for once have we had a mid semester break. We have been quiet and patient enough. Something must be done! We are just fighting for our right and demanding that the school management of kogi state university who had offered medical students provisional admission to study medicine and the state government to give us accreditation so that we can write our professional exams and graduate as medical doctors. We are not violent, we didn't destroy any of the school's properties. But this afternoon at about 3:00pm the school has asked us to vacate our hostels within 3hours i.e by 6:00pm because we are asking the school to give us answers... They have decided to send us home to rot!! What have we done to deserve this, but one thing is certain we are not backing down, kogi state university give us accreditation
