Delta State government has directed the immediate withdrawal of the query issued to a student of the School of Nursing Sciences, Agbor, Osato Edobor, over her involvement in a viral social media video during the recent visit of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.
In a statement yesterday via X, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Joseph Onojaeme, confirmed the withdrawal of the disciplinary query, stressing that government is committed to upholding the rights of students in health-related programmes and ensuring a conducive learning environment.
“Dr Onojaeme has directed the immediate withdrawal of the query issued to Edobor by the provost of the School of Nursing Sciences, Agbor,” the ministry said in a public notice.
Speaking further in a video statement, Onojaeme assured the public that government had no intention of victimising any student over the incident.
“On the trending query issued to the student, I have instructed the provost to withdraw the letter. We don’t want to victimise any of the students,” he said.
The commissioner also revealed that he had personally reached out to the affected student to confirm the withdrawal of the disciplinary action.
“I have also reached out to the student in question and she has confirmed to me that the letter was withdrawn late yesterday night,” he stated.
