Despite other faculties such as the Faculty of Administration, the Philosophy Department in the Faculty of Arts, and the First Bank Lecture Theater having a power supply, the Faculty of Education stays in darkness. This occurs mainly at night.
A student of the Faculty reported that there was light at 10 pm on Saturday, but when he returned the following morning on Sunday, there was no light. The student further complained about the inconsistency of light in the Faculty every time he came around to read.
Another female student also reported her inability to move freely in the Faculty anytime she goes out to buy something while reading overnight in Faculty because there is darkness everywhere.
One female student said, ‘I don’t bother to come out to read in the Faculty on weekends because I know there’s no power supply’.
Dr Mrs Ajibade, one of the lecturers of the Faculty, spoke on the issue of power supply affecting the Faculty. She mentioned the irregularity of the light, saying, ‘We have not been enjoying the light at all’.
At press time, attempts to contact the Faculty executives regarding the power outage were unsuccessful.
