Alumni Demand Independent Probe into Bullying Allegations at EKSUTH College of Nursing Ado-Ekiti


Calls for transparency as student nurses speak out on verbal abuse, harassment, and intimidation

Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria – April 22, 2025
The Alumni Association of the College of Nursing Sciences, Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado-Ekiti has officially raised alarm over rising reports of bullying and mistreatment of student nurses. In a strongly worded letter to the college provost, the alumni called for a transparent, impartial investigation into recurring allegations involving the Student Affairs Officer (SAO).

The letter, dated April 21, 2025, and signed by Alumni President Esan Stephen, Secretary Ibitola Damola, and PRO Omoleye Titilope, outlined concerns over increasing claims of verbal abuse, intimidation, and even physical assault—including alleged slapping of students—by the SAO.

These reports, which have surfaced on social media platforms like Twitter, are fueling public concern and drawing national attention to the state of student welfare in Nigerian nursing schools.

Alumni Urge Fair and Professional Handling of Allegations

According to the alumni body, this is not the first time the issue has been raised. In late 2024, during virtual meetings with the college leadership and the SAO, the allegations were discussed, though the SAO firmly denied all wrongdoing.

Despite previous efforts to address the matter privately, recent developments suggest the issue remains unresolved. As such, the alumni are now advocating for the SAO to step aside temporarily while an internal review is conducted.

“This will help de-escalate tension and give room for a fair, objective investigation that protects the dignity of the students, staff, and institution,” the letter stated.

Nursing Education Should Be Built on Empathy and Respect

The alumni association emphasized that they are not interested in assigning blame, but rather in safeguarding the future of the institution and the nursing profession. They noted that nursing is a profession rooted in compassion, empathy, and ethical leadership, and that such values must also be reflected in nursing education.

“We stand for truth, fairness, and the best interest of both students and staff,” the letter read. “We believe the matter should be handled with integrity to preserve the institution’s reputation.”

Online Outrage and the Need for Accountability

With hashtags like #JusticeForNursingStudents and #EKSUTHBullying gaining traction, the situation is quickly becoming a public relations challenge for the college. Nursing students across Nigeria and beyond are joining the conversation, demanding better treatment, transparency, and accountability in nursing schools.

The alumni’s response highlights the critical role former students can play in advocating for safer learning environments, and setting the standard for leadership in nursing education.
