Protocol's
The Nigeria polytechnic student body under the aegis National Association of Polytechnic Student's (NAPS) with the solidarity of West Africa Polytechnic Student's Union (WAPSU) has resolved to engage the management of Federal Medical Center Ebute Meta Lagos confrontational, due to their refusal to yield to our call for the CMD voluntary resignation from office for negligence of duty, insensitivity and inhuman policies run by the hospital management that resulted to the sudden death of our beloved colleague Miss Dezan M Charity an HND II student of Office Technology Management department of Yaba College of Technology on 12th February 2016.
The hospital refused commencing immediate treatment on late charity as when rushed to the emergency unit of the hospital, insisted on the payment of N47, 000 before treatment of any kind despite being rushed in from the college with the school crested ambulance this which led to the untimely lost of her soul to the cold hand of death. Their refusal to issue the deceased a certificate of death and facilitate compensation to the family further provoked our diplomacy.
It was our well thought decision and arrangement to take over the administrative block of the medical center while the entire management team will be locked out of their respective offices today 24th March 2016 before the intervention and subsequent aversion of the action by the Department of State Security (DSS) Lagos Sate command. The mass action was at peak of commencement when the DSS intercepted the planned action.
We express confidence in the assurance given to our team by the Director State Services as he directed the re-opening of investigation into the cases and immediate summoning of all parties involved for questioning including Medical Director Yaba Tech, Doctor on duty on the incident day at FMC and students who accompanied late charity to the center. He further assured us of justice and facilitation of a round table Dialogue of our team and the hospital authority while the command moderates.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all students, caders and concerned citizens who identifies with us in this struggle and our profound gratitude to the Department of State Service, headquarters and Lagos command for responsive and proactive measures. We shall not deviate from our core values, strengthening policy that will inform positive attitudinal changes of public servants toward duties and consideration for student, we shall continue until the best is achieved,
We equally kicked against students signing an open cheque for Yaba Tech authority as required by the management as condition for resumption. "An undertaking of good conduct and acceptance of payment for damages as may be prescribed by management" this is considered as an open cheque which may not be negotiable after signing, we therefore demand open declaration of the amount to be paid as damages before signing of such document. We implore our student to remain calm while we further agitates in constructive and diplomatic manner.
Accept our maximum regards.
Aluta Continua. Victoria Ascerta.
