Twenty students of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) were yesterday rushed to the university’s teaching hospital following a stampede at an examination hall on the campus.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the stampede occurred where the students were billed to write the General Studies and Communication Skills (GSS) examination, which had been postponed from Friday to Saturday.
The GSS examination was for the 100 level students from all the faculties of the university.
The examination, meant to be taken in batches, saw the students rushing to secure space from the few available ones.
NAN reports that Saturday’s GSS examination was meant to be the climax of the institution’s second semester examinations, which began on October 16.
The university’s management has declined comment on the stampede.
