National Association of Akwa Ibom Medical Students (NAAKIMS) of the University of Calabar (UNICAL), have appealed to Governor Udom Emmanuel to pay their grants
At the inauguration of the new executive council of the body, its President, Comrade John Emmanuel, said medical students had been denied their medical grants for five years.
He said: “We are making a legitimate demand to the government of Akwa Ibom State to look into payment of medical grants to students. The sixth year students have only been paid once. This means the remaining five classes have never been beneficiaries.” He stressed the numerous challenges students face, especially in financing their medical training, but with which such grant has been of help.
“Such finances would help in offsetting expenses, such as school fees, accommodation, books, and feeding,” he said.
