99% staff and students affected.




By Oko Ebuka


The Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Delta State is in deep accommodation crisis as over 99 per cent of the school including lecturers and 1,400 students are affected.


A source close to the management revealed to Vanguard Maritime Report that the main campus at Okerekoko currently do not have any project going on there while the take-off campus at Kurute does not have what it takes to accommodate the students and staff of the institution. The source also reported that the female lecturers are sharing rooms with female students while the male lecturers are sleeping in their offices and the students don’t have any place to sleep and those who have money to rent private accommodation because there are none to rent.

“As I speak to you now lecturers are sleeping in their offices, in lecture halls female lecturers are sleeping in female hostels. The students don’t have accommodation apart from the first year, and there are no houses to rent in town even if you have your money, and the population keeps increasing” the source said. May Day: workers urge employers of labour to respect collective agreement The source calls on the present administration to find a lasting solution to the problem by signing the proposed bill into law in order to make provisions for the institution to provide accommodation for them.


“Attention of the federal government should be quickly drawn into it so that they will go and find a solution. Don’t also forget that the president refused to sign the bill into law. That is another problem because if that bill was signed into law, they will make provisions for and be able to reach out to those who will be able to provide the accommodation.”


“The project was started by Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and this present government has not added even a block to the little project done by the PDP government,” the source said. The source further disclosed that only year one student of the university have accommodation presently and expressed worry that the fresh intake of students later this year will further compound the problem, he concluded. Efforts to get the reaction of the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. (Mrs.) Maureen Ongoebi Etebu was unsuccessful as she neither picked her call nor responded to a text message sent to her on the issue.

Ehn ehn Wanda sha never end. Wetin we no go see or hear finish

Population growing at geometric rate while resources is growing at arithmetical rate. A fundamental economic problem is created. Two options, build more hostels and office spaces or reduce student population.
As it is, students cannot even learn properly;no conductive environment and learning facilities. Students of this school will be half-baked except the ones that self-develop him/her self thorough self-teach and online educational videos.

You know, when some of us were criticising GEJ and Buhari for establishing and approving new government universites, because they had not finished funding the existing ones...some people were calling us anti-progress.

In 2009, ASUU and FG agreed that N3 trillion should be paid to universities over 2 years as extra funding. Up till today, only N300bn if not less of that cash has been released.

Meanwhile, we expect universites to survive on fees of N50000 and below.

The thing is, if you want well funded universites, either you find N5 trillion yearly(my estimate) JUST FOR UNIVERSITIES (we have not started talking of primary, secondary, college of education, polytechnics, and monotechnics), increase fees to at least N200000 per semester....or we take another big loan.

We better wake up and stop establishing universities. Because universites chop money. I read somewhere that a university needs a budge tof $100million yearly to be viable. Do we have that money at all for just one university?

Honestly, we should close all government universites established since 2010....including that transport university in Daura and this Maritime University. Nigeria no get the money. Or we make all of them...old and new universites... public private...and raise fees into the bargain.

Chai and billions of naira are been shared for un-existing projects

What's my own

ILLEGAL UNIVERSITY....ALL THESE MUMU NEVER KNOW



BABA BUHARI DECLINED ASSENT TO THE ESTASHBLISHENT OF THIS MARITIME VASITTY WARRI

In 2019.. Chai!

They shoud sleep in lecture halls

I like it like that, when somebody stole the fund meant for the construction of the school projects, people were blaming the presidents for harrasing the fellow to either released the money or do tbe project. I hope those people can quickly rush to hold the theif responsible.

..

They shld approach GEJ & PDP for funding na!
