Igbuku told our reporter that the campaign against suicide would go a long way to change the orientation of students towards suicide.

He considered the deaths recorded as a case of depression and not just one of failure in examination, adding that “those that committed suicide are not the only students that had bad results in the last semester examination, students who find themselves in troubling situations should not hesitate to contact the counseling unit of the university for help, rather taking their lives”.
