Student protesting

A 400 Linguistic student who joined the protest said the protest was not to blame the school authority but to “call on them to rectify other issues concerning the school because other faculty like FSS and other parts there are still some slant wire that can actually cause this same incident to other students”.

Although, students said that no such issue has been reported on the campus, still there is need for the authority to brace up the maintenance of its facility.
