Many students of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, have been hospitalised over suspected food poisoning.
Multiple school sources said the school’s medical centre has been overwhelmed as a result of the number of affected students.
Some parent confirmed the development to newsmen.
An oversees resident parent, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday.
The parent told the news medium in a telephone conversation that the student has regained some balance and is now recuperating in the school.
The parent said:
“We have had difficulties reaching our child since we received the news. But earlier today (Saturday), we got through to our child who confirmed being affected by the food poisoning but is now recovering well and is fairly stable.
A former employee of the university lamented the inability of the institution to have spoken on the matter “to douse the tension” as he said “all this hide and seek game doesn’t help the university.”
