The Dilapidated Male Hostel Of Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria -By Abdullahi Adda’a Turawa

As most nigerians regards the Nuhu Bamalli polytechnic, zaria as one of the largest polytechnic in Nigeria which operate in three campuses; the main campus (UPE) is housed of the Administrative offices and five schools, while annex campus with two schools and Samarun Kataf with school of agriculture.

However the lack hygienic enviroments for it’s student had been a bedevilling whic had affeced the student of (Annex male hostel).

What went wrong with Nuba Poly of yesteryears? Situations like this, makes it almost impossible for the management to fully represent student interest, as the interest of the administration will always take the lead.

Male hostel of Annex campus of Nuhu Bamalli Polytecynic need urgent attention for safety of students that are within the hostel and the environ. The hostel looks more uglier than community dumping site.

This quasi-power held by the student union government (SUG) is so passive that it renders the union almost useless. This is evident in series of inadequencies, which include but not limited to;

Poor hostel arrangement; Annex male hostel are so structurally inconvinient that the housing arrangement in “Ajegunle” lagos are far perceived befitting edifices for their residents than for student in these hostels. It is the duty of the Student Union Government to bring the state of these hostels to the fore of the relevant authorities.

In addition, the power (SUG) in mediating behalf of students on certain school policies deemed unfavorable is almost non-existent, as the union is often seen to bend to the whims and caprices of the school management, becoming it’s masters praise singers.

With all this, one cannot help but wonder if the SUG which was meant to be a powerful advocate for students, stoop so low as to becoming a control tool.
