The deteriorating state of students welfare in Federal University Otuoke is too alarming for a Federal University that is still very much young. This post is aimed at highlighting some of the challenges students face not only in the school but also within the immediate school environment. Now we have to look into some internal issues within our school community, which has been a thing of concern to majority of students.

Let me start from the issue of the exorbitant house rent in otuoke community.
I’m very sure most of the students living off campus are aware of the unacceptable yet exorbitant house rents being paid by students. Now we can’t continue to live in that situation, it’s very important to address this issue with utmost attention because we the students will continue to bear the consequences.

What is wrong with building more hostels to accommodate the ever increasing school population?
The landlords are busy building substandard houses for students and yet hike the rents.

For God’s sake FUOTUOKE is a federal university and not a mechanic work shop. The case of no proper school gate (gosh! so painful), construction materials littered all over the East Campus, inadequate buildings and facilities...Read on here https://www.fuocampusgist.com/blog/2019/01/students-welfare-in-federal-university-otuoke-deteriorating.html#.XDlOkFxKjIV

The brown color of otuoke water amazes me.
