Atmosphere mixed with joy and enthusiasm as HND1 Broadcast Students set new record in the history of Mass Communication department, The Polytechnic, Ibadan. The division of broadcast students made this record on May 5, 2022, by hosting the registrar of the institution, Mrs Modupe Theresa on a live broadcast at 250 seaters hall.
As a project for one of the semester's courses, the Broadcast student of HND 1, pulled out an outstanding stunt by organizing the live broadcast in their class. Being the first of its own in the record of achievements of mass communication department.
In attendance were senior lecturers of the department, Mr Olusoji Olatunji, Mr Olagoke Olagoke, amongst other distinguished members of the department, who were present to oversee and supervise the activities of the students.
Speaking on the show, Mrs Theresa Fawale extensively talked on "Effect of malnutrition on intellectual development"
"Majority of you people are lazy, most of you don't know how to cook. Those days, we eat good food that energizes the brain, but nowadays, you people eat junks. You prefer to eat fats, junks, canned foods, rather than vegetables or other nutritious food because you're lazy" she said.
"You need to train yourselves now, because whatever training you have now, will determine the kind of home you'll have tomorrow. Don't imitate anybody. Do not cut your clothes according to your size; cut your clothes according to the pieces of material you have" she advised.
While speaking with our correspondence, Mrs Theresa Fawale, expressed how happy she was at the project.
"That's training from inception. It's a good thing towards the right direction, at least you start having your experience from being a tutelage of those who could give analytical criticism to your work".
Also, according to the lecturer in charge of Broadcast media, Mr Olagoke, the success of the live broadcast is a signal that the students understood what they're being taught.
"I must confess to you, you guys really performed well. You have proven to me that you can exhibit great projects with little or no supervision. And with your performance today, I am proud to tell you that we are done with this course for this semester." he declared.
The live broadcast show, segmented into three parts consist of; Newspaper reviews, Interview session with the Registra of the institution, and entertainments were hosted by members of the class, with the rest of the class, working relentlessly and joyfully behind the scene.
