He however said that the university needs a conducive environment. In his words: “There is lack of teaching facilities, inadequate lecture theatres.”
He also said that lack of adequate hostels is another challenge. According to him: “The hostels are not pleasing to the eye and are highly uncomfortable. Remember an adage says ‘Health is wealth.”
He said. He also said that he is not benefitting enough from the internet service, adding that students need it in the hostels.I am 101% certain he is going to deliver.
However, he added: “Few days after he was inaugurated he promised to reduce the price of internet fee and has also visited the whole hostels. I am positive about his administration”. He concluded.
