An open letter to the acting vice chancellor, Professor Mohammad Laminu Mele

Dear sir,

I'm delighted to write this letter to you as a concerned student of this great learning community. I must confess, your first month in office has been a spectacular start. We must appreciate your tireless efforts to address the needs of this university. However, I want to bring to your notice some pressing issues that need urgent intervention.

First and foremost,the academic calender remains a lingering concern, as the university has failed to maintain an up-to-date schedule of important activities. This lack of clarity leaves most of students in dark, struggling to plan their academic journey. This concern forced students to manoeuvre their studies in uncertainty, never knowing when a semester will begin or end. It's very vital that the university prioritize the release of updated academic calendar so that students can know the schedule of important activities.

Furthermore, the delay in release of results has caused more harm than good to students as many have to spend semester without knowing their fate as regards to previous semester examination written.

This issue of delay in the result still persist, it's crystal clear that it's been a long standing challenge. Unlike many universities of our caliber, our graduates often stay at home for months or even a year without their graduation list being released, preventing them from being mobilised for National youth corp service (NYSC) with their colleagues from other universities of our league.

It's my expectation that you put a strict deadlines for the appraisal of students results so as to improve the steadiness of result release. This will improve academic standards of this prestigious university.

Moreover, the condition of our hostels, especially the toilets and bathrooms, is truly disheartening. These are part of our daily routine, but unfortunately, most of the hostel toilets are not properly maintained and the hostels at large are breeding ground for mosquitoes , which causes malaria to students livung on campus. Therefore, I urge you, through the appropriate authority, to take immediate action to maintain hostels regularly. Our personal health and well being should be a top priority.

Lastly, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. The future looks promising, more promising for the fact that you've performed perfectly well in just a month. Thank you sir!
