The Nigerian Medical Students Association (NiMSA) received news of the death of Idoko Nicholas Inalegwu at her Annual National Health Week held at the Port Harcourt University, Rivers state during the National Executive Council meeting held Saturday July 25th, 2015. Before his death, he was a medical student of Benue State University.
We are indeed sad about the incident, and with a heart filled with sadness, we sympathize with the parents, families and friends of the deceased.
Idoko was reported to have taken his own life because he couldn't bear the news
that his 10 years in Medical school (a program which should last for 6 years) was in vain following his withdrawal from school.
The National Executive Council condemns the act and have with immediate effect inaugurated a 4-man committee to investigate the matter and suggest solutions to prevent such occurrence(s) in future. The occurrence, which is not the first has shortened the life and/or plan of many promising colleagues. We shall therefore after the report meet with the various bodies affected including but not limited to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) to state our position.
We pray that this would be the end of untimely death among our promising colleagues.
Farewell Idoko Nicholas Inalegwu!!!
