Natives of the FCT under the Coalition of Abuja Indigenous Groups, say they have concluded plans to embark on a peaceful protest today over alleged ‘discrimination’ against them in admissions into the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Gwagwalada, FCT.
A statement issued by the group’s spokesman, Ahmadu Yunusa, said that the natives were embarking on the protest because indigenes who applied for admission into the school were discriminated against. He said none of the 150 natives of the territory that applied for admission to the School of Nursing and Midwifery was admitted, claiming that five candidates offered admission were not natives of the FCT.
“We feel it is high time we rejected this injustice being meted on the indigenous people of the FCT, which is why the group has decided to embark on a peaceful protest,” he said.
The statement said the group had already written to the appropriate security agencies to intimate them of the planned protest.
