At least 20 100-level students of the University of Calabar (Unical) billed to write the General Studies and Communication Skills (GSS) examination on Saturday were rushed to the institution’s teaching hospital following a stampede at the hall for the exercise.
The examination was postponed to Saturday from Friday.
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.
Saturday’s GSS examination was meant to be the climax of the institution’s second-semester examinations that started on Oct. 16.
Meanwhile, the university’s management has declined to comment on the stampede.
A competent source, however, confirmed the incident.
