LAUTECHARENA

Today being the matriculation day for the newly admitted students,all school gates were found closed this morning. Info reaching us as at the time of filling this report was that the protest is by class 16 students who are yet to proceed with NYSC registration due to second semester result being withheld probably due to unpaid outstanding salary areas of the lecturers.

By Oyedeji Ahmed ( LMP )  The workers of health centre went on indefinite strike as a result of the ugly incident that occurred last week Monday. Some group of students out of frustration and emotional trauma mobilized themselves to show their grievances for the lost of a comrade, Ahmed olumo, who died at Bowen hospital due to an unknown ailment.  The bully-off occurred in the morning at health Centre and led to the closure of the Centre. During the protest, the DSA along the head of the unions addressed the students and pacified them.  The workers were not only embarrassed, threatened especially when they saw cane with some set of students but felt unsaved. While the students in their understanding are saying that their unprofessionalism had caused the death of the brave comrade either by referring him to Bowen hospital or administering the usual drugs and injection; paracetamol & one other.  Without being unfair, what's the offense of the workers ? Can they give what they don

  I t  has just been confirmed from reliable source that all departmental and faculty election will be suspended till further notice. The reason for this is as result of the sad event that took place in some faculties & departments.  The call for suspension becomes imperative to arrest the ongoing situation and to further re-strategize.  In view of the above, a memo will be sent tomorrow from the office of the DSA to affirm this. Meanwhile it's important to know that the university is still mourning the death of her student who died as a result of an unknown ailment. While three students who were involved in an accident are still responding to treatment at Bowen hospital.  At this jucture, LAUTECH students should rethink and shun unnecessary violence in the university as a panacea to prevent more casualties.  Academic excellence is our primary assignment. Let's pray for uninterrupted academic activities.    Source   :  Oyedeji Ahmed                            ( LMP )
