Since we’re bragging:
I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in 2024,but the global recognition for my work in Analog/Mixed-signal Microchip Design hasn't stopped 🏛️
Since my 4th year in Electronic and Electrical Engineering OAU,it has been a marathon to global stages:
1/5
OAU transport system was near perfect, adequate buses and bikes, we rarely experienced queues until the First Lady came and decided she didn’t like the ease of transportation and introduced “change” by donating CNG buses.
The school management in turn banned all motorcycles and commercial buses on campus and subjected over 30,000 students to just about 50 buses and a few tricycles. OAU has one of the largest land masses of any Nigerian university, yet students are now stranded daily.
This is a Monday morning where students are supposed to rush for class, but they are stuck at the campus gate because of the inefficiency of the CNG buses.
Students are struggling to go to class in the morning and in the evenings to even get back to their hostels.
Students staying off campus now spend almost double to get to campus, all alternative transport means have been removed
The management have cars to bypass all of this, but majority of students do not. Yet they released statements talking about how the buses will “ease transportation” and even implied students appreciate the system. Meanwhile, students are trekking, missing classes, and spending hours in queues.
Let it be clear that students do not appreciate this system. It has made our lives harder, not better. What used to be a smooth system has now become a daily struggle.
There are many pressing issues in this school, but they chose to dismantle a working transport system and replace it with hardship.
We can no longer remain silent. Let the whole world know what OAU students are going through.
Please if you come across this tweet, help us retweet it whether you are an OAU student or not
We demand our towngboro buses and motorcycles back.
@TheOfficialA7X gave us the music... They gave us the channel to express our emotions... They gave us the light to illuminate our path through the night...
