The untold stories about the UniAbuja accreditation saga: As told by a Medical student

The struggle started way back 7 years ago, when Prof.  Nuhu was the VC and Prof. Otubu the provost of d college of Health Science admitted the first set of students into the program for Medicine without a stone laid for the college. But arrangement were been made to acquire the Specialist Hospital as Unibuja teaching hospital which was accomplished by Nuhu administration, but as a result of the intentions of the cruel provost, the university administration thought all was done to start the program. 

But it made issues worst. Still the program was still in progress, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th(which I belong) all been admitted by Nuhu Yakub's administration, and the 5th sets were admitted by Adelabu's administration.

 As at the former V.C's regime, the school rented a flat for the college as their Admin block and a Lab in the SON at the teaching hospital. An anatomy Lab was also built there. But during Adelabu's activation as the VC, the rented flat gave a quick notice to leave and Adelabu gave a section of offices within the school. 

This started the reveal of the ludicrous situation of d college. Students became frustrated about the saga of professional means of ruining people’s career. The V.C and the college administration under the installation of the new Provost Prof. Asala (a God-fearing man) calmed the students and promised to do something concerning the initiation of projects for the college within the UATH, which the FCDA demolished. 

The life-threatening and life engulfing event brought about the first medical student peaceful protest, and Lean On Me exposition. The project was re-channeled back to the permanent site. But still noting heart-cheering was happening until the Fed. Gvt. Through the Ministry of Education intervened as a result of the report, the task force sent to the school and external pressure from resourceful parents.

But the VC still promised us the students and the minister 6 months, which the minister gave a benefit of doubt. The ASUU also intervened by initiating an indefinite strike but was later paused. The NUC committee has been to the school to access the development and the required facilities. From that report a time table has been made to checkmate the processing of the accreditation process; still on the promise that our first set will write their first MBBS exams this year. So, we are hoping with total perseverance and patient; hoping with our last breath.

A complex is under construction in the Permanent site for the college. The intercalated program for the senior set has been wedged for now. ...........................

Who holds the blame………?
