The Students Union welfare finally speaks

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE WELFARE OFFICER,  GREAT IFE STUDENTS' UNION:

Greatest  IFE! Articulate IFE!!

It is an incontestable  fact that the prevalent tensed political  atmosphere on OAU soil today is not too palatable but even at that, a cogent fact that  cannot  be erased is that the welfare of generality of Great IFE students must not be compromised for anything less.

Essentially,  my sincere and warmest greetings to all Great Ife Students. However, it is paramount at this juncture to tender an unreserved apology to the generality of Great Ife Students for the the late release of this piece. I have taken it upon myself as the welfare officer to see to the welfare conditions of the generality of Great Ife Students as this is of utmost importance by visiting the appropriate quarters and soliciting for solutions to issues pertinent to the welfarism of the entirety of Great Ife Students. The issues I have been able to work on are:

ON THE ERADICATION OF BEDBUGS FROM CAMPUS
   An ad-hoc committee for the eradication of bedbugs on OAU soil has been set up by the Vice-Chancellor of the University.  This Committee is a six-man committee consisting of: Dr A. A Olatunji from OAU Health Centre who is the Chairman, Dr Sosan from Crop Production and Protection,  another Dr from Zoology, the Welfare Officer of Great Ife Students, the  Chairperson of Akintola Hall, Miss Khadijah and a representative from the Registrar of the University who would serve as the secretary of the Committee. In lieu of this, a meeting was held yesterday, 21st June, 2017 and the following were the positions the union stated:
👉 the whole campus must be fumigated, including all halls of residence, offices of lecturers, lecture theatres and so on.
👉 there is no situation that would warrant total evacuation of students from the halls of residence due to the different academic loads of students.
👉 there would be sensitization of the whole process by the union for all students.
👉 for the fumigation of halls of residence, two students would be  presented from each floor to monitor the fumigation.
👉 the health centre would supervise the whole process.
    The fumigation promises to be effective and I seek for the cooperation of Great Ife students to make it a reality.

ON PRICE LIST OF COMMODITIES ON CAMPUS
   Due to the economic instability in the country leading to an almost daily change in the price of goods, there would be a periodic change of the price list of commodities served to all butteries on campus to prevent the exploitation of students. In lieu of this, the effectiveness of the price list is a collective responsibility as any irregularities noticed from the butteries owners should be reported to the Hall executives of such butteries and proper measures would be put in place to check that.
   This is to notify the generality of Great Ife students that Awolowo Hall upper buttery has been shut down twice due to irregularities noticed and ETF Hall once. This won't have been possible without the help of Great Ife students who have been conscious and are contributing  their quota to bring sanity and prevent extortion on our campus.

GOODS ENTERING CAMPUS
The office of the welfare officer took it upon itself to visit places like; water factories and bakeries outside campus and canteens inside campus to check how goods consumed by students are manufactured  and the surroundings of the places,  so as to ensure that proper hygiene is being maintained for the safety of Great Ife Students. 
       The office is also trying its best possible to get bags of Sachet water to be sold to the butteries at the rate of #120 in contrast to #130 as sachet water is mostly consumed by students and its affordability and availability is key.

ON WATER ISSUE
The Union as a pressure body has been discharging its duties by consistently meeting with the school management on the issue of water. It has demanded for the total upgrade of the water system at OPA DAM as the students can no longer endure the use of 'chocolate water' as this is detrimental  to the general well being of the students.
     The office of the welfare officer has started having talks with the Department of Works and Maintenance Services, OAU on how all damaged pipes and STOREX water tanks distributing water to Halls of residence would be repaired.

ON ILLUMINATION ON CAMPUS
The office of the welfare officer has demanded for the illumination of the streets of OAU campus especially that of the streets leading to the Halls of residence, as well as the corridors and bushy pathways.  This is to ensure that such places do not give room for criminals to carry out their evil activities there such as raping,  robbery e.t.c.
     This illumination has already commenced in phases as the academic environment can give evidence to that.

ON THE SAFETY OF STUDENTS ON OAU ROADS
    There is a common saying that 'Prevention is better than Cure'. On this note,  the office of the welfare director has met with the appropriate authorities in demanding for speed bumps on OAU roads especially that of T-Junctions and sharp corners. The office has also demanded that sign posts be erected to indicate certain road signs like; bumps ahead, slow down,  Zebra crossing e.t.c. There should also be repainting of Zebra crossing. All of these for the safety of the generality of Great Ife students which is of utmost importance.

ON HEALTH CENTRE SERVICES
      Since assumption into office,  the office of the welfare officer has been on its toes to ensure the health centre functions at its peak. Some of the stands made known to the management are:
👉 there must be at least three doctors available during emergency hours in contrast to the two doctors in time past.
👉😏consultation periods should be extended from 4:00pm to 7:00pm to enable students that have classes till the evening time have  access to consultations on their health issues.
👉 students still undergoing registration at the health centre should have all the test carried out on them without exemptions of any.
👉 students with no files yet should be attended to on presentation of their clearance certificate.
👉 all protocols needed for referring students from OAU health centre to any hospital should be observed by the health centre to save students from unnecessary stress and monetary implications.
👉 the pharmacy should be adequately equipped for better health care services.

     Sequel to the above, the welfare officer seeks the support and cooperation of the generality of Great Ife students to enable his office to function in its capacity to ensure laudable welfare conditions for Great Ife students. With that, all complaints in the Halls of residence should be reported to the Hall executives, all other complaints, suggestions and enquires should be made to the office of the welfare officer.

Viva Aluta!
