Jigawa medical students protest delay in being licensed

Some students of medical laboratory department at the Rawafid International College of Health Technology, Dutse, Jigawa State, have protested what they described as the school authority’s insensitivity towards their plight by withholding their operating licences two years after graduation.

The student’s union leader of the school, Idris Abdullatif, who led the protest told reporters that the school sent them to Zaria, in Kaduna State, for induction, however, they were denied licences and induction for no specific reason despite paying over N70,000 induction fees.

“The school scheduled our induction on the 19 of December, and asked us to assemble in Dutse, for the induction, after coming to Dutse, they asked us to go to Zaria, for the induction. Some of us came from Borno, Gombe, Bauchi and Plateau states.
