How ESUT VC, Onyeji, Was Released

SPECULATIONS over how the abducted Vice Chancellor of Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), Prof Cyprian Onyeji, regained his freedom have been  put to rest, as facts emerged yesterday that his release was facilitated by efforts of the Aku Professional Group in Enugu and in the Diaspora.
it was said yesterday that the organization, the umbrella body of Aku people of Igbo-Etiti Council of Enugu State, had taken it upon itself to ensure that nothing happened to the Vice Chancellor while at
the kidnappers’ den.
Although a ransom was allegedly paid to secure his release, the actually amount could not be ascertained.
But it was gathered that the body made financial contributions to meet the ransom demanded by the abductors when it dawned on it that the state government was planning to use force to effect the release of the university administrator.

The kidnappers had earlier demanded a ransom of N200 million, which a source disclosed was reduced before payment was made.

ESUT sacks 8 for alleged academic fraud

EIGHT staff of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) found to be involved in illegal admission of students have been sacked.
Six of the indicted staff including a senior lecturer were found to have been responsible for the illegal admission of over 500 students who were expelled by ESUT authorities recently. The six staff worked in various departments of the university.
A statement by the Director, Public Relations, Mr. Osita Ugwuoti, said that one of the affected workers was discovered to be engaged in double employment in ESUT and Institute of Management, IMT, earning salaries from both institutions.
He said that another  was sacked for mutilating students’ results, sale of degree results as well as other malpractices.
The ESUT Governing Council approved the sack of the affected workers at its 126th regular meeting at the Agbani permanent campus.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Students who live on campus may fare better academically than those who do not. In the dorm, you have access to classmates and study groups. If you have to study for a test, you may find someone in your dorm to do it with. When you see others studying, you are reminded of the importance of good grades. Living in the dorm may also encourage you to take part in academic extracurricular activities in which your roommates or hallmates participate, which will help you focus on achieving academic success.

Advantages of Living in University Dormitories

University life brings a host of new people and issues. Many students find the transition stressful and opt to live at home or off campus. However, despite any shortcomings, living in the university dormitories offers a wide range of benefits from solidifying friendships after hours to learning how to live contentedly with others. 

Freedom

In many university dorms, unlike living in your parents' house, you are free to come and go as you please. You don't have to tell anyone where you are going or when you'll return. You can get up when you wish and go to bed as late as you prefer. You'll also have financial freedom from paying rent or utilities, not an option when living off campus. While your part of the dorm room may be small, you have the freedom to decorate it any way you wish. You can invite friends over without having to check with or Dad first.

Personal Growth

Living in a dorm will quickly teach you how to share. If your room has a bathroom, you'll learn to share it with a roommate or roommates. If your hall has a communal bathroom, you'll quickly let go of excessive modesty and learn to shower quickly when there is a lineup. You'll learn to better communicate with peers, such as your new roommates, and you may become more comfortable expressing personal preferences, such as when you want the lights turned off for bed. As there is no one to wake you up or insist that you work, you can learn self-discipline and time management skills, both of which are crucial for success later in life.

Convenience

• Even on a large campus, many students find they don't need a car. You can walk or take university transportation to anywhere on campus. If a class is unexpectedly canceled, you can go "home" to your dorm room rather than all the way back to an apartment or your parents house. In the dorm, you are likely within walking distance of friends and even on-campus activities such as Ultimate games or impromptu board games in the dormitory common area.
  
  

 

 

 

 

How to Improve Student Life at College

For many, attending college can be one of the most inspiring and exciting times of life. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to student life on campus. Whether there's a need for more clubs for students to join or simply more parking, students and faculty can strive to make improvements by creating a group to discuss the issues, choosing a focus and putting it into action.especially in ESUT as a student of geology and mining in the Enugu state university of science and Technology.

Students enrolled in colleges and universities have the option to participate in clubs and organizations during their time outside of the classroom. Many universities offer a wide range of events, services, academic assistance and opportunities for students wishing to actively participate with peers outside of the traditional classroom

Intramural Sports

• Many universities and colleges host intramural sports activities that allow enrolled students to participate as part of teams or as individuals. Possible intramural offerings include soccer, indoor soccer, basketball and billiards. Intramural leagues often chart the success of each competing team and host playoffs and championship games. Information on enrolling in intramural leagues can often be found at the campus recreation center or student union.
  

Fraternities and Sororities

fraternities and sororities are social organizations that exist in many campuses. Membership is initially offered to undergraduate students, and the induction process typically involves participation in social events and interviews. It is common for these groups to dedicate a portion of their time to public service, including charity fundraising or labor-intensive actions. Larger fraternities and sororities often use a house as their base of operations and dormitory for members. Less involved, academic-based fraternities and sororities can exist in science and liberal arts disciplines.
