🎯 There is a betting pandemic on Nigerian campuses.
Many students gamble with their school fees, hostel rent, feeding and transport allowances, while some even borrow from loan apps in the hope of landing a big win.
In this story by Ezekiel Ogunniyi, students share how a habit that often begins with curiosity, fun, or peer influence can become addictive, leaving them to lose far more than just money.

“Everywhere I turn, people are busy doing one thing or another, reporters moving in and out for assignments, presenters rehearsing scripts, producers making urgent phone calls, and editors concentrating deeply on their screens.”

Before the implementation of the policy that triggered the transport crisis, Campus Reporter had published a report predicting that the proposed system would be inefficient.
However, @OAUniversity did not take students’ concerns seriously until protests disrupted academic activities. This reflects a poor approach to student welfare and policy implementation.

Transport crisis, e-portal challenges, and mid-semester hostel renovations.
These are some of the issues that pushed OAU students to take to the streets earlier today ✊🏾.
The protest appears to be gaining momentum, with the university management now convening an emergency senate meeting, after previously overlooking actions like the students’ 72-hour lecture boycott.
Students have also insisted that tangible action must be taken before normal activities can resume ⚠️.

Dress codes are a common practice across Nigerian tertiary institutions, often justified as a way to promote decency and discipline.
But in practice, their enforcement is often intrusive.
In this story, @ Abdulrasheed Aishah reports how these policies are sometimes applied in ways that raise concerns about students’ privacy and rights.

Some #OAU students were given about 24 hours to vacate their halls for renovation ⚠️
The directive, issued Thursday evening, came without clear relocation plans, especially as it occurred mid-semester.
The situation raises fresh concerns about the university’s approach to policy decisions and students welfare.
Recall that Campus Reporter previously reported policy changes that have led to ongoing transport challenges.
