LUTH sends nursing students on vacation over fire outbreak

The management of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) has instructed students of its College of Nursing Sciences to go on a two-week vacation following a fire outbreak in the college.

The Chief Medical Director of LUTH, Prof. Wasiu Adeyemo, made this known in Lagos on Friday, January 9, 2026.

One of the hostels in the College of Nursing Sciences was gutted by fire at about 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, but was put under control with the help of some individuals and the Fire Service personnel.

Adeyemo said the two-week vacation was declared to enable the management assess the damage done by the fire and come up with policy resolutions to avert future occurrence of such incident.

Adeyemo said the cause of the fire was related to a gas cylinder, following the inability of a student to put off the gas cylinder after cooking.

He added that students had been directed to go home for two weeks and resume on January 22, 2026.

The CMD disclosed that an arrangement has been made for the students to receive online lectures while on the vacation.
