Yendi nursing students warn restricted access to skills lab could affect their training

Nursing students at the Yendi College of Health Sciences say they are being denied access to their skills laboratory, raising concerns that the situation could affect their practical training and preparation for professional nursing.

Mr Mohammed also compared the situation at the college with that of other nursing training institutions, where students, he said, had opportunities to practise in hospitals and interact with real patients.

The complaint was raised by Abdul Mumin Mohammed, Vice-President of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC), who said the facility was routinely locked when students needed to practise for their practical examinations.
