At about 1:30 pm today, students of Tansian University, Umunya, took to the streets to protest the poor condition of their hostels and other infrastructures within the institution.
The agitated students spoke to Ekwe Anaedo in separate interviews, they contested the condition of infrastructures in the institution and stated that they have become so dilapidated that their living conditions are nothing to write home about.
The aggrieved students also sent in bitter complaints over the death traps they now live in, they described the hostels as completely unbearable and inhabitable. Whilst pleading for anonymity, they called upon the management to do something immediately and see to the upgrades of infrastructure within the university to secure the lives of staff and students and prevent hazardous incidents.
The students particularly made comments on the dilapidated and dirty state of both Umunya and Oba campuses, they described them as horrible and inhabitable including some lecture halls in the Umunya main campus. They went as far as saying that some lecture halls do not have any chairs and are evident death traps.
Furthermore, they said that this is more prevalent in the nursing and microbiology lecture halls. They are appealing to the attention of the management of the institution, so that some of these things can be fixed.
