JULY 11TH 2014, A ROOM in AWOLOWO HALL block 7 room 107 got burnt, but so unfortunate the room is now more like an abandoned garage and dumping site. http://www.punchng.com/metro-plus/confusion-in-oau-over-cause-of-fire/

It is over a year still counting, the room is still in the same shape no renovation, what the management is occupied with is new senate building, so pathetic.

Truth, i see no reason why cybermetric could hav ranked oau than unilorin. temmi whc dept do u rep in beta by far? repin pol sci faaah. wha bout u?

That's because you have no idea the criteria used for the ranking....

Meelaw:
?
after they will say they are the best,in my opinion student can contribute to their welfare,if each student pays 1000 the halls will be in a better condition,but no they won't all they do is to make their own ooni of ife burial let them make their own toilets

Pointless

semitunde:
The school administrators need to be checked seriously.

CBN came with around N1B intervention fund and asked what the school needed done critically. The school asked for a new senate building! Dolts.

They should have at least built a new hostel or rehabilitated the current ones with a fraction of the fund.

The last time we had a major rehabilitation of all the halls was around '98 with PTF under Abacha. Funny!

Imagine....

SIRTee15:
u pay #18000 as development fees and u want world class facilities.
u gotta be joking.
for ur info, govt is broke and cannot continue to massively subsidize university education.
the way forward is full university autonomy and realistic school fees.
govt can provide bursaries and scholarship for brilliant but indigent students.
and school hostels should be privatised, university mgmt should hands off.

We ain't clamoring for world class sir, but let them improve the little ones we have rather then building giant Senate building.....

DTOBS:
Awoites now result to using the football pitch (San Siro) at the back of block 3 to do their normal *shit* business at night....

Tell them....

See contradiction how can that still be in use when broken? For your information that is awo block 3 toilet not fajj. I Should be asking you if you are....

The one up there is in Awolowo hall, though such is in fajj but the one is not for fajj....

bushdoc9919:
Increase the fees.

Yes...if you want standard facilities in all Nigerian universities.....increase the fees.

In the US....they have pristine toilets in their hostels (some of which look like posh block of flats). And that is because fees in the US cost $20000 and more. Meanwhile in Nigeria....we are paying less than 1000 dollars......because of poverty.....and of course we get bad facilities.

We also have cities with bad mains water supply, and we pay water bills of N6000 monthly.(Or less).

And in developed countries....they pay heavy taxes.....to make sure that the universities get well funded.

Plus....Universities abroad market themselves. How many of you have worn American uni branded clothing here in Nigeria? That is how many US unis make kudi....by sticking their names on shirts , cups, sweaters, etc....and does it work?

If you want good toilet....we may have to pay high fees. Because universities cannot do much on budgets less than $20million per annum....when US universities have budgets up to $250million or more.

What's the assurance that increasement in fee will effect any change? The fee was increased last two year Nd yet no change.... Acceptance fee from 2000-20000 fee from 17,000 to 77,000 plus so what's you yr justification?

noordean:
That must be awo

Yes awo and it's not only awo that's in such state.... Awo is just the top on the list....

walemoney007:
guy u sure say nah toilet b dat ,mayb dey xpect mak una tak u nylon enter dia,sh!t insyd d nylon n go throw way am for bush

Sir this is not a joke. I will be happy if you don't take it as one....

student can no longer use toilet but bush...

Increment in SCHOOL FEE AND YET NO IMPROVEMENT IN WELFARE CONDITION. (dilapidated building, bad toilet etc). And we paid for development fee. The situation of our toilet is so bad that students no longer use them.

Coupled with some other charges I didn’t and still do not understand, is the #18,000 development fee which was part of the reasons Obafemi Awolowo University management increased its school fees, counting some months behind us. The development fee is a scam or what?

A closer or let me say my personal review of the exorbitant and “holy gholistic” increment of fee early March last year; looking through the estimation given by the management, one out of the 17 listed estimate, I kept on fixedly gazing at the number 15 on the list, then the question that kept on heaping round my thought as ant heap round a cone of sugar was development of what?. An obviously pellucid reason for this question is, so far, the condition OAU has been during the time normal fee was been paid is still what we are now, NO CHANGE!!!, hence my question again, development of what. Well, consoling myself, it was probably meant for building a new giant Senate building so these set of inconsiderate management can continue relaxing in air conditioned offices while we keep on swinging in our erratic and nothing to write home about welfare condition? We’ve had enough patience for our management to make sense but still they prefer our parents hustling to pay them.

It may interest you to know that, the said estimation was as a result of the protest, which saw to the reduction from 74,000 to whatever we have now, is this really not a scam? As far as am concerned, no development whatsoever has been implemented by the management, I may be wrong with evidence, after swindling over 5000 2013/2014 fresh students of #18,000 development levy, and now 2014/2015 set were inevitably victims. Let’s say approximately 12,000 students paid, #18,000 in such folds, that will be a total of? I leave that to the mathematicians to rack brains about. Or maybe my definition of development is what I’m inferring from? Lest I fall a victim of erroneous conclusion.

Let me linguistically analyze the word “development”, or probably what the management mean. Is it what my dictionary defined it to be or what? Well, here is what I have according to lexicographers;

Development is : the act or process of growing or causing something to grow or become larger or more advanced.

Sequel to the above definition, is it then justifiably right, based on the condition of our hostels, lecture halls, that the management have satisfied the above definition of development? To which #18,000 was attached to? I see the word development as used by the management as a canopy to hide their somewhat exorbitant fee, if so, I believe this canopy needs to be fixed before another set of fresh students will be made to pay such canonized fee. Obviously,this situation needs some changes,some trenches need some cutting,some pillars need erecting and the flooring needs some scrubbing.
