Computer Operators Complain of Low Patronage

OMULA EMMANUEL 
  
Computer operators at Benue State University have complained of low patronage from students. One of the operators Sani Ibrahim said students now type their assignments using their laptop, or their friends’ laptop. This was not the case before. He said is only few students that now type and print assignments with them. “It is worse now because students even type their project and dissertations themselves”, said Otakanchi Boniface a computer operator.
​A student who spoke on the ground of anonymity says students type their assignments and projects because most of the students are Benue indigenes, and most of their parents are civil servants whose salaries don’t come regularly. 
​According to him allowances from parents have reduced greatly. To cope with the economic realities students have to type their assignments and even projects.

By Ishaku Umar      Zamfara State Gov.: Bello Matawalle  A world renowned novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian, Herbert George Wells once said “Crime and bad lives are the measures of a State's failure”. This is exactly the event that is playing out in Zamfara, a state in the North West part of Nigeria. Last month, the Governor of the state Bello Matawalle granted amnesty to gang of bandits with notable one being Auwalun Daudawa, a notorious bandit who led scores of his gang members to abduct over 300 schoolboys from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Kastina state last year.
