Unilorin : A student reaction to Bandwidth Payment (Must Read)
Blessed morning To y'all famz, I stumbled on a post in the early hour of today , where a student of the federal University of Ilorin posted a short article as regards the "Bandwidth and Sweat Payment" that appeared on the student portal few days ago.
"When shall will stop extorting ourselves ?
Good day all Unilorites, i am writing this piece in a state of disappointment. 29th May 2015 remains a day of history in this country of ours as a new Sheriff (as our president is called) came to town. The president brought his change agenda and coincidentally our mini government on campus (SU) adopted and modified it to Positive change. This I felt was a good initiative.
With d adoption of TSA of the federal Government, we discovered our School fees was reduced and we all were in a joyous mood chanting Praises of Buhari bt surprisingly, within 48 hrs all was history. A compulsory levy of 7000 naira was added to the school fees with 5000 for school WiFi and 2000 for sweat shirt.
Now I ask myself, is this the idea of Positive change? Y are the students grumbling and not bold enough to confront the people they voted in? This is an Institution that has a President with his cabinet, Senate President with other senators. Were they voted in to just appoint committees and collect salaries? Of what use is the school WiFi to students staying off campus? Students of social science faculty and Arts Faculty have no access to the WiFi and u expect them to pay for this. Majority of we students have our modems that we subscribe on at our convenience and yet u made d WiFi which it is sure will not be accessible during academic period compulsory for us. Seriously this is 1st Grade extortion.
We all want the real positive change and not a positive change on social media or papers.
The entire Unilorin say no to compulsory payment for WiFi, it should be a thing of interest and nt mandatory. SU President and CEC members, Senate President and the council, this is where we need u people to represent us, give us the true example of the Positive change u preach. "Economic Justice can be won by free men through free enterprise".

Well, this aint bad tho, but i personally think the bandwidth payment should be for those students staying on campus and not those staying off campus..
