Uniben shut students from entering inside the hostel unless they have cleared and certified 2 enter into the hostel.
However, this policy has turned into a mess and ridicule which can degrade the quality of the institution world wide.
Students who resumed were left to sleep outside after they had come from far places, wit some forgeting their cards.
Our correspondent spoke with one of the students who did not want his name disclosed, he said many students applied 4 d hostel and majority were not giving.He also questioned why a person will be given morethan one space in the hostel which he regarded as corruption on the part of the dean of student affair of the university of Benin, and some SUG officials who are just vent on filling their pockets and forgeting the plight of others.
Janet Okon, another correspondent sought to know why the dean of student affairs alongside the Vice Chancellor Prof Osayuki Oshodin would go about arresting students during the xmas and new year break in the skul, but it was all futile. Although one of the arrested students said he was suprised at the action of the Dean of student and the VC for their unhonourable act. He said he was a medical student and decided to stay back becos their exams was to commence immediately after new year.
Many students have been criticizing the VC whose administration is all about increment thereby making it difficult for the poor from continuing with their educational proceedings.
Report said despite the students explanation on their purpose in school to the so called duo arrester (Dean), he ordered them to be arrested by the school security unit and they ended up paying 1000 naira each for bail. What can we call this? Internal Generated Revenue? I don't know. If you do, tell me.
Accurately, the SUG on their part have been so dull and non performing, rather than warming the benches they have no other work. Despite the school's increment on everything for this session, the SUG has never reacted to any. Unlike OAU ife, where the SUG is very tough and vibrant, no wonder students tag OAU's SUG as a Fighter for the depressed but can that be said of Uniben's. Uniben SUG is the most dormant and remote controlled in all directions.
Nevertheless, the situation is full of tension only God knows how long it will last.
We will still keep on looking as things unfolds.[/b][b]

It happens in all skuls. Pele
