The Ministry of Health has denied claims that it has evicted some students of the Korle-Bu Nursing Training school from the school’s hostel.<\/p>\n
In December 2017, about eighteen students of the nursing training school were served an eviction notice. The school’s authorities subsequently provided alternative accommodation, but the aggrieved students rejected it.<\/p>\n
The final year students say the supposed eviction has affected their academic work.<\/p>\n
The Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Health, Robert Cudjoe, however says there has not been any eviction, and that the Ministry is only making an arrangement for some fifty [50] foreign students from Sierra Leone who are currently studying at the school.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are foreign students who need to be on campus, so that supervision, care, control and all that will be effective. My worry is that, these people are going to be there for about two years or so and they leave. These students who are agitating are even final year students and whatever authority will say they will just come against\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
