Gov Obaseki Orders ESCNS To Re-assess Precious Umoru

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has ordered the re-assessment of Precious Umoru on Thursday, April 13, 2023 to begin her training at the Edo State College of Nursing Sciences, Benin City, the Edo State capital.

This was disclosed by the Provost of the Edo State College of Nursing Sciences, Prof. Patricia Ukaigwe.

Precious Umoru is said to have been admitted at the College and initially advised to withdraw after preliminary assessment of her physical condition, which was not disclosed at the point of admission.

The School’s Admission Committee had deemed her eligible based on her cognitive function and score on the CBT exam, but upon her arrival at the school premises, the hostel manager observed that she has unstable gait and tremors.

A meeting was called between the Counselling Department of the College and Precious Umoru’s parents, where the nature and history of her condition were reviewed to reach a fair decision on her physical fitness for the College’s rigorous training.

As part of this process, a preliminary assessment was conducted which suggested that she might not be able to withstand the physical rigours of midwifery training.

The rescheduled assessment will take place on the scheduled date and the public will be provided with the necessary updates on the exercise.
