Over 300 students from the Faculty of Dentistry and Dental Surgery at the University of Calabar (UNICAL) are currently in deep distress after their admissions were reportedly withdrawn — and just when they were about to graduate!
Omo this is painful oo. Seven whole years just waka like that?!
According to viral claims making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), user @dammiedammie35 shared that the affected students have spent over 7 years studying, only to be told to leave because the school allegedly over-admitted beyond the quota approved by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
This shocking move is said to have been directed by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Florence Banku Obi, after it was discovered that the faculty’s intake violated MDCN regulations.
Allegedly, the students were asked to vacate the program entirely — despite having already written countless exams, done clinicals, and invested their time, energy, and life into the journey.
In a heartbreaking video, one of the affected students spoke up, saying:
“Seven years ago, the University of Calabar admitted us into this fine institution with the hope that after a certain period, we would graduate and practice without issues. Fast forward to now — they’re telling us to leave…”
The video has since gone viral, stirring reactions and sympathy online, with many Nigerians calling for justice and accountability.
