The management of the Yaba College of
Technology has suspended academic activities in the school for four
weeks as students continued protesting against the death of a final year
student of the institution, Comfort Dazan, on Thursday.
It was reported that the
angry students went on the rampage in the college, shutting all its
entrances and singing solidarity songs to protest against Dazan’s death,
which they claimed was as a.....
result of the poor state of the medical
facility in the school.
It was reported that Dazan, a Higher
National Diploma II student of the Office of Management Technology
department, passed on after she fell ill and was rushed to the college’s
medical centre, which allegedly demanded N35,000 before she could be
attended to.
The Head, Public Relations Unit, Charles Oni, said in a statement that the suspension of academic work was to mourn Dazan.
It was learnt that the students, during the protest, vandalised the
college’s medical centre’s ambulance, burnt a 5KVA generator, and
damaged some vehicles belonging to the school and individuals.
