VOX POP: STUDENTS' WELFARE ON CAMPUS



“I don’t think they care about student welfare oh! Because if it were to be their children facing the various hardships we are facing, I doubt that they would like it…”

The quote above were the words of a Fatssssaite when asked by our Vox-Pop team if she thought Student Welfare was still on the priority of the management. Read on to see more reactions by other Fatsssaites.

I think that they kind of care because most of the students are actually applying Marxist theory in the way they view things happening around without actually knowing what the school management is doing to care for them.
My view is we don’t really know what is wrong but we should try and see the management’s view.

To the best of my knowledge, I would say the student health is not in the heart of the management as the lack of electricity and water is nothing to write home about. So to me, the management hasn’t done enough.

I stayed off-campus for two sessions. I expected that coming back to school, I would not have to struggle for such things as water and light. I was thinking that coming back on campus, the issue of water would be better, unlike in Agbowo where we had no choice but to buy water at #30 per keg. I was actually disappointed as we paid for everything, we paid #14k for everything and I don’t see why I should be stressing myself or suffering and Awo to be precise is even worse.

I don’t think they care about student welfare oh! Because if it were to be their children facing the various hardships we are facing, I doubt that they would like it. I am very sure no member of the school management would wish for the kind of situation in their own homes.

Lack of water and light in an institution like ours is not something that should be taken with levity coz these two resources are the most important in a student’s life. If an academic environment would be seen as conducive, these resources should be provided regularly. I feel the school management is taking this issue with a slack hand which is not meant to be. I don’t think they care about us coz if they do, they would have provided a lasting solution.

The issue is even worse in Awo Hall. Its really something that is not fair considering that we paid the same amount of money as other people in other halls. We at Awo suffer in all areas. I expected more.

THE FATSSSA WEEK EVENTS THROUGH THE EYES OF A NERDY FATSSSAITE

Image
  By Omolola Odukoya    The Faculty of The Social Sciences had always been known for events which make headlines around campus. However, there had been loud hiccups with the crispy picnic, so many might have been hesitant to show up at the FATSSSA Week events. In preparation for the opening day of the events, the Large Lecture Theatre had been decorated. A large purple banner bearing the name of the faculty, with beautiful splashes of white and orange, was glued to the wall. The week started with an incredible intellectual programme - ‘Dean For  A Day’ and ‘FATSSSAites who inspire us’. I was determined to attend the programme as it was a new trend and I was curious to see how it would turn out. My mouth went agape as I saw FATSSSAites rush to the event. There were six amazing personalities whose citations made my head burst open.  One of the personalities, Mr Shallom made the girls swoon as his melodious baritone tingled through the room. His cheeks turned...
