Breaking News : Students of Benue State Schools of Nursing and Midwifery Makurdi went on protest this morning blocking the main entrance to the school. There demands were:
1. No water supply to the school even when Government awarded water contract since 2016, since then no single drop of water has been experienced in the school. They cannot flush toilet at their various hotels which had led to spread of diseases and sickness to students and workers alike. There is serious odour emanating from the toilets and bathroom making the hotels inhabitable. For these reasons, the students are seeking the shutting down of the school.
2. There is no independent power supply at the school should the public power supply goes off. Take note that these are the females hostels which should be normally be lighted all the times especially at night.
They are also agitating for medical allowances as agreed when they were admitted into the school. Presently no allowances is being paid to them. On the arrival of the commissioner for health and his permanent secretary to the school, they directed the two Principals to summon all the students for a brief meeting at the school auditorium, instead of the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Health to pacify the students and promise them that the failed water project would be restored, rather, he went threatening them with expulsion and further compelled them to sign undertaking right in the present of everyone. How can such a person be allowed to represent government by destroying instead of repairing. Before now, the journalists from other media outfits were barred from entering the premises. The students pay their school fees from time to time and should enjoy the facilities they paid for. Please save these students from a draconian government of Benue State as exhibited by the Permanent Secretary Benue State Ministry of Health.
