Lalasticlala Seun please lets celebrate this kind of thing

Please the state government and minister of education should try and look into the abnormalities in Delsu in the areas of paying several defence fees mostly for M.sc and PhD students....the school is exploiting these sets of students and nobody seem to be taking.....

The HODs and the lecturers in the post graduate school are all working hard to see that the students suffer seriously .......

Why will students be suffering from the hands if these wicked lecturers? .


You pay school fees. ...you pay defences fees upon fees.... sometime the defence is intentionally cancelled to raise more money for the school..... this is very wrong.
