RE: WE CAN HAVE A BETTER FEMALE LAVATORY





“in journalism, there has always been a tension between getting it first and getting it right.”

Ellen Goodman


In the early hours of yesterday, 29th day of September, FATSSSA press made a number of publications. One of these titled “we can have a better female lavatory”, has generated great controversies. While the writer of the article is a very young campus journalist who is still in the early stages of her learning, the real responsibility should be borne by the FATSSSA press editors who published the said article with its controversies. Journalism is a delicate, backbreaking as well as critical business; its conduct should be done through patience and strict adherence to the due process. The process of walking in to the faculty management to make enquiries in order to verify the basis for the claims in the article was missed before the publication, and this should not have been so. The opinion/advisory article in question actually failed to take account of the tremendous financial, physical and other efforts the faculty had put in place in these past months towards ensuring a conducive environment for the students, especially on the lavatories. 

This inadvertence could only come from a press outfit which is just starting to build, learn and rebuild itself, and FATSSSA press is such. Members of the faculty public are therefore informed that the article in question has been pulled down from the FATSSSA press blog, and its contents cannot be accessed, neither will it be found anywhere again. We apologize having the assurance that with the better understanding we now have in relating with the faculty management, none of our future publications will record such suffering.

Thanks.

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...
