It has been reported that a third-year student at a private college in the Ayoka region of Nigeria has tragically committed suicide. This unfortunate event unfolded following concerns regarding the college’s compliance with accreditation standards set by a professional council.
Local sources have reported that Ayoka, a Basic Health Sciences program student, consumed something toxic on Monday night and passed out on her way to her partner’s house.
The college’s failure to secure accreditation for its nursing programs is said to have been the primary cause of Ayoka’s suicide, which devastated the would-be doctor.
Recent investigations shed light on the college’s ambiguous academic status and its questionable admission practices. Although the college claimed to be accredited by a national educational body, it was reported that students were enrolled in programs like nursing and law, which are normally associated with different kinds of educational institutions.
Students are confused about this discovery and unable to tell if they are enrolled in a university, polytechnic, or a hybrid of the two.
Given these conditions, a lot of students struggle with doubt and fear regarding the validity of the courses being offered.
Insider information claims that over several months, Ayoka’s mental state had gotten worse because her nursing program was not certified. Her distress intensified upon discovering her pregnancy, exacerbating her sense of hopelessness.
Sadly, Ayoka spent his last minutes buying pesticide from a nearby drugstore, purportedly to deal with a mosquito problem. She then went on to ingest the deadly material, which ultimately caused her premature death.
A State Ministry of Health official verified Ayoka’s protracted battle with depression, which preceded her pregnancy while speaking under the condition of anonymity.
In reaction to these events, a government task force that included representatives from the State Nursing and Midwifery Committee moved to close the college’s unaccredited nursing department.
The Ministry of Health highlighted the serious consequences of earning a nursing degree from an unaccredited institution, claiming that these credentials are useless in the workplace.
Ayoka’s terrible demise, according to the college’s administration under Dr. Ismail Oyetunji, transpired outside of the college’s jurisdiction. Ayoka’s parents had recently retrieved her belongings from the college after learning of her pregnancy, the provost clarified.
The college insists that Ayoka’s pregnancy was the only factor that influenced her decision, despite rumors that her suicide was related to the accreditation dispute.
In response to requests for comment, law enforcement officials said they had not been briefed on the incident.
