CORRUPTION IN FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OTUOKE

Firstly I want to start by thanking the guys behind this platform for their ingenuity and creativity, it is indeed a credit to FUOtuoke and all FUO students. At least we now have a platform where we can air our views and grievances through writing so that the outside world ca get to see more of what is happening.

I am writing this because the management of Federal University Otuoke has been playing smart on the intelligence of over seven thousand student and it is not a good omen.

THE SUG MONEY
When this school was established in 2011, the school management included the sum of 3000 as student union charges even when there was none existing by that time until 2015 when the student union executives led by Comr. Stephen Akariwa came into office. What did the management do with the money derived from the collection of #3,000 from 2011 – 2014? Till today, the school is yet to release the SUG dues to the union executives

THE SPORTS DUES
Secondly, the management of this school has been extorting the sum of two thousand Naira only (#,2000) from our students in form of sports levy yet, they do not, I repeat, they do not sponsor or encourage sporting activities on campus. Every student and executives that has held the position of director of sports will attest to the attitude of the school management.

The only sporting activity done on campus is the annual VC’s cup which over the years has been poorly funded and supported by the school management. The recent and most annoying case that prompted this write up is the case of the just concluded West African Universities Games (WAUG) which was held in University of Port Harcourt in October, 2018.

A memo was released for all sports loving students to register for their sports of interest with the sport department and the training commenced immediately. Most students skipped lectures just to train in preparation of the games (I’m still wondering why sports was removed from the lecture timetable and it’s very annoying that even while it was there, lecturers still held lectures into the sports time.) Oh! FUO

Reports have it that the sports department submitted a budget of two million naira (#2,000,000) to the school management for the camping and welfare of the sports team for the games but the school turned it down, with the excuse that the money was too much.

What the heck? 2,000 X 5,000=10,000,000 and we’ve paid for it so how come they say no money? Where did all the money go to because there are no infrastructural projects going on in the school, even the sports hall they gave us to be using for the main time is so small that it can only contain a handful of students at once plus the fact that it’s not proper equipped.

Having forced all students to pay up their school fees and expelled those that couldn’t meet up with the deadline, this same administration refused sponsoring the school’s sports team to the just concluded WAU Games this year. IT may interest you to know that this same scenario played out last year and for two consecutive times, we have missed out on the WAU Games after training and preparing for it. It’s very appalling.....click link to read the full article.
