For two weeks now, the rumor that the federal government is planning
to strip the newly converted colleges of education to universities of
education their university status has been on air. Here in alvan, the
news has not gone down well with the school community. On Friday 21st of
august, there was a massive but peaceful demonstration (for the second
time) by the staff of the school. Following the protest which led to the
police use of tear gas to quell the protest, one week strike was
announced.
I went to school this morning to discover that all the
gates of the school was under lock and key. there was a very large
crowd of people at the gate trying to enter, but to no avail. when i
finally entered, I learnt that there has been no hostel porter in any of
the nine hostels in the school since that Friday.
I could not snap pictures because i wasn't with a good phone, but i later went back to snap just the one below.
