From Grace To Grass To Dust : Reasons Why KSU At The Moment Will Not Produce Enough First Class Students

 On a friday evening,a week before the strike I was in one of those classes in management science. I looked around and saw loads of students charging one thing or the other as usual. I observed the chairs,and it looked like students had beenplaying king kong chase on those chairs. I thought they said renovated the school before the beginning of last semester,so what happened ??
We need a suitable academic environment to learn but at the moment ksu are not providing that and to be honest they are even lucky students are not agitating. Everything in ksu at the moment is in decline,things are going from bad to worse,which makes it harder every year  for the institution to graduate first class students.
Kogi state university has gotten to a point where students have this "get admission and come out quickly" attitude. Many of we students keep mute about most of this things but do we realize that our silence has a big say on the not so encouraging academic records ?? When our comfort,academic excellence,well being and our future depends on the institution then we have start speaking and demanding. We clearly understand that the institution is a reflection of Nigeria as a country and kogi as a state,we get it,but in the outside world we have alternatives,but its a different ball game in the confine of an institution where 100 level students(indigene and non-indigene) pay #57,500 and #100,000 per head and spend even more on accomodation,feeding and other things,yet they still make life and learning uneasy for students,even extorting money from student by lecturers in order to pass a course,how fair is that ??

wrong.” ― Benjamin Franklin

me for an entire year.”- Albert Einstein
