Five students of Akwa Ibom School of Health Technology in Etinan, have been expelled by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Dominic Ukpong.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that the students were on Wednesday invited by the commissioner for discussion over the lingering crisis in the school caused by hike in tuition fees.
The leader of the students, Mr Joe Friday, told NAN that the commissioner invited them to his office for dialogue.
He said that they were surprised that instead of dialoguing with them, Ukpong asked them to sign an undertaking not to further participate in protest over the hike in tuition fees.
Friday added that when they refused to sign the undertaking, Ukpong said that it was an insult on his person and the ministry and told them they had been expelled from the school.
