The suffering of resident students in the Polytechnic Ibadan hall of resident.
Pls I am writing this short piece inorder to call for the needful Action and not to agitate on behalf of the suffering students of the citadel of learning, we have been forced to faced series of hardship and agony on campus .it is now a common thing we experience every semester, this is a dent on our studentship and inclusively the image of the school to an extent.
Initially, since the Commencement of this semester the institution had gotten one thing important right which is restoring the school electricity and that was commendable because the light was stable and everything was going fine and serene . Moreover, what really happened that the normal turned abnormal and annoying, to my surprised was the week NLC embarked on strike action, that was where the problem started the School resorted into usual darkness on campus And we students of the Polytechnic Ibadan have not been able to enjoyed the latter. we students feel such should not had happened like what we have Always experienced overtime. For some months towards the ending of last year. we students had stable electricity, barely there was any form of protest made by the students not untill the students suddenly led a peaceful protest action concerning the darkness on campus and inadequate water supply.
That was the action the students took that resorted in sending all the Polytechnic Ibadan students hostel resident packing without even considering the cost of transportation psychology stress and Security of the country when an official memo was released by the management that all students should vacate their respective hall OF resident for a mid semester break on Friday 1st December as dated on the press release.
On the 18th of December, 2023 the school released another memo for resumption not forgetting that series of action and meetings had been held inorder to resolve some pending issues while the school was on a mid break. Nans and other relevant stakeholders already intervene to discuss pressing Issues with the management on the grievances of the students which the meeting outcome was positive and some conditions was listed . out of the listed conditions only one of the items was giving priority which was the SUG elections .while the issue of restoring the school electricity was not stated. Now the major setback for students is there's no light on campus for students to have access to basic water and light. Before students can get water to cleanse themselves and make use for other consumption they have no choice to go miles to fetch water from staff quarters that have wells. Which the students can get easily at their hall of resident without moving an inches if the needful had been done. It's of high risk if they can't get a clean water from a borehole provided in their hall of resident. On another hand the issues of light is a major concern which is provoking and it's giving the students a tough time to have access to basic electricity on campus. Students can't have access to internet for research and do their assignments they have to run to cafes or any available shop to power their phones and and accessories. Why should it be like this ? the school kept mute on these issues no prior notice or any memo on the Cease power supply on the campus how on earth will u keep people in a place without electricity how do u want the students to thrive with Limited resources? how Can we overcome this persistent issues recurring on campus, which is internally hindering students ability, prowess, success,in both their academics and non academics. What Is the management trying to signify to us by telling us that we students that are domicile in the school hall of resident are not entitled to what we deserve or they feel we are trivia.
It's a prestige opportunity to study at the citadel of learning, Ise lo Ogun ise.
