IMSU medical students at Imo State University Teaching hospital (IMSUTH) Orlu took to the streets to protest what they term neglect of duty by the School management on their re-accreditation exercise which has been postponed indefinitely .

It is worth knowing that an average Student in IMSU medical school spend nothing less than 10 years before graduation.

Last year December , The Faculty of medicine failed in its re-accreditation bid and was given 6 months upfront by Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) to put its house in order and prepare adequately for the re-accreditation exercise . MDCN Cited Understaffing and lack of permanent Staffs at the pathology and pharmacology classes as part of the reasons Imsu Medical faculty were denied accreditation. Ten months gone and Nothing has been done to solve the problem .

The Medical Students leaders on their path have had several meetings with top Government functionaries and have met the Imo State governor at some occasion but still no hope, just failed promises.

The free education Governor Rochas Okorocha has not done enough to save the only medical school in his state.

The students are aggrieved that the School management have folded their arms and just watch as things continue to go wrong and students accumulate lost times . They have failed to pressure the Governor or any authority that can facilitate preparedness for an accreditation.

The students were seen dressed in ward coat ,carrying placards and singing protest songs. They Bemoaned the fact that the 10 years they stayed was being threatened to extend to 11 or even 12 years in what is supposed to be a six yeard program.

The Students during the protest Sang against The provost of the medical college Prof. B. U EZEM demonstrating Utter displeasure at his nonchalant attitude in fighting for the re- accreditation of the medical school. The provost and dean were no where to be found during the protest as they had pre-information of the planed protest .

The Chief Medical director of IMSUTH DR.Fredric Anolue was on hand to address the aggrieved medical Student .He stated That the hospital was ready for the re-accreditation exercise but will pressure the university management to do their own part ,affirming that the Hospital and The college are two different entities.
Furthermore he expressed shock at complaint that their are four classes in a single level ,and the fact that some classes have one lecture in a week and some have non at all. Their were further complaint to him that a class that wrote their 2nd mbbs exam in 2014 are yet to write any other exam 3 years down the line. The CMD stated that their will be an advertorial for prospective employment to meet the MDCN demand in less than 48hours and urged the students to go on with the protest peacefully to press home their demand.

The protest is set to continue as announced by the Imsu Medical Student president Comr. Nkwogu Chukwuebuka. During a closing speech said that he had ignored pressure from the school management to halt the peaceful protest and its first phase will last for a week.

Remember that in 2015 ,Imsu medical Students protested at and around Imo state government house in the state capital owerri
to let Gov. Rochas Okorocha to know the true condition at The medical school and they were tear gased and assaulted by men of the Nigerian police force .
