We met with the DSA Mr Habib Agboola, where we discussed about the complaints we got about the SUG election and allege possible interference by the management.

In his response, he assured us of his cooperation and ensure that he would direct them to us for us to mentor them when the time comes, according to him the election will probably come after their exams. I used the opportunity to ask him about the efforts of the school on the bad condition of the school road, in his account, he narrated how they have been able to reach out to all the Ministries in charge of the higher institution in the state.

During our meeting with the Provost, he told us that he is expecting commissioners for works and Education and he would like to inspect the environment before their arrival, we joined him to assess the condition of the dilapidated road.

Though they seems to be ready this time around, they came with rubbles which they poured to the damaged portion at the frontage of the school.

We met with the President on issues on the toilet, and his position on the coming SUG election.

In order to assure him of our commitment, I directed one of the Executives to get a good plumber to fix all the damages observed during our inspection and  a painter to give the facility a good look.

5. A visit to late Yekini's( Yeko 2020) wife

You will recall that late Yekini was a student's union President in the school, a lecturer and great member of Alumni before his painful demise, the tribute to mark his one year departure was pasted by Dr. CY (former Alumni President) on this platform

The lady is an Alumnus, she has hearing challenge ( partial deafness)  she came to one of our meetings and sought for assistance, I tendered tendered her case by suggesting the school should assist her by employing her but we were advised that is better we assist her in solving her medical challenge instead of securing her a job that she might probably not meeting up with any task given, they suggested they will be putting up a facility soon where she could be attended to.
