By Muhammad Habibat Sani (UmmuYasmeen)  In a startling visit to the campus clinic yesterday, I was left utterly astounded by the state of healthcare provision for students. My friend, like many others, sought medical assistance only to be handed a prescription by the attending doctor.

Some of our fellow students, already grappling with limited financial resources, found themselves stranded and unable to afford the required medication from an external pharmacy or clinic. Consequently, some had no option but to return to their hostels, a situation that put...
