ANOTHER UNIZIK STUDENT DIES AFTER ALL NIGHT READING

Last week we received a sad news concerning the death of one of our medical students in Okofia Nnewi campus.

Name: Chisom Donny Osigwe
According to the information, she died after observing an all night reading on Thursday 3rd April 2014  to prepare for her quiz the next day but to the surprise of everybody she did not wake up to go for the lecture.

When her friends got tired of waiting for her to wake, they started to bang on her door to know whether she will open but she never did.

After several knockings and banging on the door, they then broke into her room only to find nothing else but her lifeless darkened and changed body.

We were told that her complexion was dark when they saw her in her room lying lifelessly.

What could possibly be the cause of this death? Some persons interviewed said that she has other health issues before which could be the cause of her death.

However, the cause of her death is still a mystery.

UNIZIK SUG TO ASSIST IN SOLVING PHCN CHARGES PROBLEMS AT IFITE

According to reports reaching us from The Office of The UNIZIK SUG PRO, a forum formed by the presidents of Lodges in Ifite recently met to discuss the abnormal billing system by the Power Holding Company of Nigeria PLC (PHCN).

According to the reports, the
agenda of the meeting was to address the issues of PHCN abnormal charges.

Before now so many have complained about the outrageous amounts paid by hostels located in Ifite.

A resident at Ifite disclosed that his hostel was billed
N1.8 million and they succeeded in raising seven hundred and fifty thousand naira only. But to their surprise two weeks of reconnection, the PHCN staff returned and disconnected them again.

Other residents also complained that before the recent ASUU strike that lasted for about five months, they were owing three hundred
and fifty thousand naira but when they returned after the strike, the debt has escalated
to eight hundred and fifty thousand naira. The residents lamented that they were exploited by the PHCN because no one used the light that brought about the
increment in the amount owed.

Some also complained that PHCN most times,
don't only disconnect those  owing from the concrete poles through which they were connected but also disconnect the power from the transformer thereby affecting both those that have paid and those that have not.

The residents who are all UNIZIK Students called on the institution's SUG to look into the matter and intervene.
At the end of the meeting, the attendees resolved to go to the office of the PHCN to lay their complaints but when they got there yesterday, there was no access into the
compound.

The meeting which was held in ANGELES LODGE towards Yahoo junction had the president of SUG, Comrade Ibe Cico, The Chief Judge Justice Muoneme and the chairman of house committee on security.

Also present was the SRC house majority leader Hon Dominic.

NAPSS TO BEGIN RECOGNITION OF 'STUDENT OF THE WEEK' SOON

NAPSS Unizik News (NUN) proudly inform all the students of Political Science Department that recognition for "student of the week" will soon commence on weekly bases.

Plans are ongoing to ensure it starts sometime next week. The picture of the student that has been considered worthy to be the "student of the week" will be pasted on the notice board and also uploaded online at the NUN blog, with his or her bio-data and other necessary particulars.

A committee comprising of at least one person from almost every class, will be set up soonest, this committee has the onus of identifying a student worthy of such honour every week, and will be manned by the NAPSS DOS, Hon. Chikezie Osuagwu.

The student that appeared the most from the time of commencement to the day of Political Science Luncheon, will be awarded at the Luncheon to be held at the first quarter of second semester.

It is worthy to note that among the conditions to meet to merit such honour, "Regular Lectures Attendance" and "Good or Smart Dress Sense" are the major ones.

Speaking on the idea, the NAPSS president, Hon. Omaliko Emeka .F, averred that "the essence of this phenomenal idea is to ensure that our students identify themselves with the administration, have that sense of belonging, and equally strive to be diligent to lectures, while at the same time maintaining good and smart dress sense".

He equally implored and advised NAPSSITES to read  studiously for their first semester exams for success to thrive.
