The Abia State government has canceled the results of the Preliminary Test Sessions (PTS) in the state government nursing colleges.
The cancellation was announced by the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Okey Kanu, at the Government House, Umuahia, while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting.
Kanu, who said that a new date would be chosen by the State for the retake of the PTS exams, explained that students would not pay additional fees to retake the exam.
The commissioner added that investigations are still ongoing into the matter.
According to him, the committee in charge of investigating the matter met with the aggrieved students and those responsible linked to the petitions and received complaints from all parties.
Two weeks ago, some nursing students protested in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, calling for the cancellation of their PTS exam results. They alleged that the test results released by nursing authorities were highly manipulated and compromised, with some of them calling for the dismissal of the Director of Abia State Nursing Service, Mrs. Onyeukwu Nwakaego.
Subsequently, Governor Alex Otti created a commission to investigate the matter. He also asked the complainants to bring proof of their allegations to the State government for a thorough investigation. He promised that anyone found disabled would not be spared.
