Participants

Former Director of socials (D.O.S) Israel Sunday (Social Myles) present at the event refrained from making judgments on the new administration but criticized the past administration, acknowledging failures and hoping for improvements.

"For now I can't say anything as the new administration is just starting we've not seen anything yet but then the last administration of which I am part of it, honestly I will say we have failed the students, but then I just pray this people have the energy and strength to amend some of the mistakes we made"


Matthew John, a 400-level Sociology student, echoed dissatisfaction with the previous administration but expressed optimism in the new leadership's potential to perform better.

"I think the former president didn't do what he supposed to do, the school fee increment, he was supposed to play a major role, I remember when we had a protest at the gate he was not there,

I don't know the new president but base on what I've heard about him I'm sure he will do well”.
