Student Bodies: The Benefits of Student Departmental Bodies Owning A Website (Being Online).

In Nigeria there are over 200 tertiary institutions both private and public (University degree awarding). It’s quite obvious that in these institutions there are quite a lot of faculties/schools and departments that handle various disciplines. In this departments/faculties/school these are headed by various personalities such as Professors, Chief Lecturers as well as senior ones. Down the ladder of leadership come the student associations that are meant to take care of the student welfares. This student associations/body are without doubt numbering in their several hundreds that represents the over 500 thousand students that are admitted annually in the various universities, polytechnics, college of educations, Adult Education, Distance Learning, as well as agriculture institutions, school of certain disciplines notwithstanding.
    However it is appalling to note that virtually all these student bodies (Student Union Governments S.U.G inclusive) can not boast of a credible online presence using a website. It goes to show the serious degree of internet illiteracy among students and their various forms of organized body in Nigeria. The near zero ignorance of the benefits of using the internet effectively have created a devaluation of the real goals and purpose of having the student bodies in existence in the first instance. One begins to wonder what in effect is the brain behind student associations, if the mean purpose is not to champion the cause of student fraternity, advancing the essence of knowledge empowerment as well as the enhancing of the social cultural lifestyles of member students in the various degree awarding institutions that not only improves the individual student academically, socially, mentally, psychologically and otherwise, but as well exposes them and their activities to the power of the web and the Internet. It would no doubt help these students gain international recognition and as well give them a global voice. It becomes quite easy for them source out for assistance with recognized bodies and institutions of their kind. Online activities would equally make students realize that gold is paved on the streets of the internet if only one is keen to explore it. Such opportunities include   Online Trading, University Degrees Online, Online Marketing,
    It is in line with this contention that students of Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Students, a student body of the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic Unwana chapter being the first in championing student affairs with a dedicated journal called Electro-Ray: the only student journal published annually with international recognition have made it once again to be the first student body with a website. The website
