Dozens of University of Jos (UNIJOS) dental students took to the streets on Wednesday to protest the non-accreditation of their courses, which has resulted in them spending over ten years in school without graduating. The students blocked the university gate, singing solidarity songs and carrying placards with messages such as "Save us from unending depression," "Our future is on hold," and "Accredit us now."

The President of the Jos University Dental Students Association, Mr. Johnson Titus, spoke on behalf of the students, demanding that the university management address their plight and provide a solution to their predicament. "We have been stagnating because of the non-accreditation of our programme," Titus said. "We call on the university management and relevant authorities to come forth and address our issues, including getting a date for accreditation and resolving the curriculum problems."

A source close to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Tanko Ishaya, who spoke anonymously, stated that the university management is doing everything possible to address the matter. The university has opened bidding for N800m capital projects, including the purchase of equipment for the dental programme, and the Provost and senior faculty members met with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to get a date for accreditation.

Despite the university's efforts, the students remain resolute, saying they won't vacate the university gate until their demands are met. "We feel the university is still at fault for the situation we have found ourselves," Titus added.
