Protest looms in Imo school of nursing over illegal fees

THERE is tension at the School of
Nursing, Umulogho in Obowo Local
Government Area of Imo State, over alleged
use of "force" by the school management to
compel students to retake hospital finals
examination.

Some of the aggrieved students were preparing
for a showdown with the management to make
public their travails.

It was also gathered that parents, who
allegedly paid N250,000 for their children to
retake the hospital finals examination with the
assurance that they would pass, have become
frustrated.

Among other controversial issues causing
uneasy calm in the school, as told by the
students, was that they were persuaded to
retake the exams which they had taken before.
The students claimed " it was against the
nursing council rules for students to sit for the
said examination twice.
