Female Student of YabaTech Dies Due To School Clinic Greed

Academic and social activities were paralysed at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, on Wednesday as students shut the college’s gates to protest the death of a final year student, Miss Comfort Dazan.

The protesting students also took to the roads, blocking the Jibowu end of the Herbert Macaulay Road, Yaba. The students were said to have chanted solidarity songs and displayed placards, some of which read, “Injustice to one is injustice to all” and “This nonsense must stop.”

According to Punch, the protest caused gridlock in the area, as the students prevented motorists from moving in and out of the school.

The lady was an HND 11 student in the Department of Office Technology Management.

It was learnt that Comfort, who had just finished the practical aspect of her examination, was to sit for the main examination on Wednesday (yesterday).

It was gathered that the student, however, fell ill some days ago and was rushed to the college’s medical centre.
