ANGRY POLITICAL SCIENCE HONOURABLES STAGE A WALK OUT AT FHR SITTING



Olapanran Onala

The duo of Honourables Ayoade Sherif (400L) and Azeezat (200L) representing Political Science constituency at the Faculty House of Representatives yesterday walked out angrily during the sitting when a vote by honourables didn't go in their favour.

The duo had vehemently stood against the inauguration of one Mr Aquah Christian (now Hon. Aquah Christian) who is being co-opted by the President, Ogelekeme Jones. They based their stance on the fact that the said individual was a transfer student who was not done with his registration and as such not yet a full member of the association as well as the fact he had not paid his faculty dues.

Other members of the House didn't see this as a stumbling block to his inauguration as they believed he would still have to complete his registration and also pay his dues. Hon. John Bosco (400L) who is representing Geography also made mention of the fact that not all honourables seated at the floor of the house had paid their dues and as such they couldn't stall the inauguration of the co-opted member based on dues payment. Both parties for and against the inauguration stood their grounds and the issue was put to a vote. The result was 4-3 in favour of the inauguration of the new Honourable.

Seeing the turn of events, Hon. Sherif stood up and proclaimed that he wasn't convinced he would still be representing the interest of his constituency if he was still part of the sitting that would make such a decision. He then proceeded out of the sitting and was followed by Hon. Azeezat. Honourables there after went ahead with the inauguration of Mr Aquah Christian.

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...
