Students of the Rivers State College of Health Sciences and Technology on Tuesday, June 15, staged a protest against poor basic amenities in the College.
The protesting students caused a heavy gridlock around the mile 4 axis of the Ikwerre road in Port Harcourt, forcing motorists to use alternative routes.
Some of their anger include; lack of water and electricity in the hostels, non accreditation of courses offered in the College, poor infrastructure, among others.
Speaking to newsmen one of the students said;
“look at the building, it is just fine outside but when you go in, its rubbish. The place is water logged, there has not been light for over two weeks now let alone water.
“So students are really stranded. Just to bathe and have their clothes ironed has been a big problem.
“So we are calling on the Rivers State government to come and help us. The management of the school has failed us.
“We are paying a huge amount of fees here but you cannot see the effect in the management of the school”.
