The sub-dean of the Faculty of the Social Sciences, UI, Dr. Stephen Lafenwa, has disclosed that the faculty will be adopting the blended learning system for the second semester. 
Speaking in one of his class on Tuesday, Dr. Lafenwa revealed that the mode of learning for the 2nd semester will be in a hybrid form of combining both physical and online platforms.

  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.
