Written by Dr. Adesewa Ajanaku


Negligence and Nonchalance has done more harm than good in all sector. Rising from the seat of nation, to even families and now to our citadel of learning. It’s so disheartening and pathetic that a place of saviour now turns a place of disaster and disappointment.

Who do we blame for this??? Ourselves?, Authorities?, Who?? Can we find answers?
But should we continue to believe all will be well someday?? When?? Can we find answers?

Nevertheless, finding answers to this questions is not by vandalism or stealing.
Vandalism and stealing cannot wake the dead neither can peaceful protest and dialogue.

God gives and takes, He knows the end from the beginning. He knows the measures he will pay back whosoever unjustly, intentionally and consciously ignore to give proper care to the unhealthy and healthy.

Proper investigation and punishment should be accorded to persons who refused to give care to those innocent souls we lost.

I implore Nigeria Students to be calm and take heed to dialogue and peaceful demonstration of there grievances.

I however commiserate with Nigeria Students, Polytechnic community and the family of the dead.
May God give us all fortitude to bear the loss.
We pray such will not occur again.

GRACIOUS (Senate President 14/15 session)
