Demands of a Concerned Student from the New Vice Chancellor
From my childhood, I have learnt that If you want anything done, you have to make some noise -Malcolm X
Revolutionary greeting to the incoming vice Chancellor of this community, in person of Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, on your swearing in ceremony today, Ad multos annos, may your tenure bring development to us.
However, it will be pertinent to note that our university community is been faced with myriad of problems that have not been solved, or either not looked into by previous administration which however needs your urgent attention. Issues bothering on poor welfare condition (which has been a general bane of Nigeria communities) among others.
The Issue of improved welfare of students should be an utmost concern of your good will, improvement in the state of our hostel where we live like livestocks, our hostels have been too crowded as a result of the numbers of students admitted compared to the spaces available, as if that is not enough, poor maintenance have also breed bed bug as hostel mate, bushy environment breeding mosquitoes , scorpions and even snakes.
Our Class rooms and laboratories are not left out of these mess, where most of our students could not receive lectures, as class of more than 1000 students uses a 500 seaters capacity hall or even less for classes, and underfunded lab.
Our roads which naturally should be a fun route, have now become a death route, where students in their numbers have met their end, or even sustain a hard to recover injury.
Other social amenities like water, which cannot even be deferential from urine in Taste and colour, is what is been supplied to students. Even the water in this form is most atime unavailable.
We also call on the vice Chancellor, to look into the date of the close of registration, as lot of students have not paid up their fee as a result of the economic hardship that have greeted our nation. (Non or untimely payment of salaries and increased cost of living). We plead that more time is given to students to enable them pay up.
RECOMMENDATIONS
#The Management should erect more and better speed bumps and street lights
#Provison of adequate, and portable water
#Improvement in the state of hostels, class rooms and Laboratories
#Extention of Registration date
No amount of element can break the collective strength of students
