SUG raises alarm over animal attacks

The Students Union Government (SUG) of the Oyo State College of Education, Lanlate, yesterday, raised the alarm over attacks by dangerous animals on students of the college.

The students noted that wild animals have been attacking them due to the bushy and unkempt state of the institution’s environment.

The SUG president, Muhammad Yusuf Olaitan, who stated this in a statement, also called for the resignation of the Dean of the Students Affairs of the institution.

He said his members were also protesting against non-issuance of ID cards after they had been made to pay N3,000 for it.

The SUG President said; “Fellow Nigerian students, our college has been in existence for more than 15 years, but it has been badly managed in the greater part of these years.

“Despite charging an outrageous sum of Three Thousand Naira (N3,000) cumulatively, the management has refused to issue any form of identification to students, exposing us to harassment and denying us scholarship opportunities.

“In the twenty-first century, students are unable to check their results online and print course forms despite paying for this every semester.

“We are required to pay N8,000 in 100 level, and N3000 in 200 and 300 levels each, yet no noticeable development can be seen.

“The school environment is bushy and unkempt with dangerous animals attacking students during lectures.

Reacting to the allegations, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Adeniyi Jolaoso, said the allegations were false, adding that the institution was yet to receive petitions from the students on the matter.
