Not in my Uniuyo please. I still have friends around that didn't travel, please everyone should be extra careful

It's not been easy, the few students who are left on campus have resorted to sleeping in night class rather than that hostel....It's not funny at all. we are yet to get any justifiable explanation why a student should be in custody of explosives.
