The rate a which Kogi State Polytechnic students die while crossing the dual carriage Lokoja-Abuja road on several occasion at the school gate is quiet alarming and calls for urgent attention.

Dangote trucks fly across the road every seconds which make it very difficult for students to cross. I want to use this medium to beg the Federal government, the Kogi state government and Dangote cement company at Obajana to construct a pedestrian bridge (fly-over) right in front of Kogi State Polytechnic main campus Lokoja.

The reason why the Federal Government should be involved is because the road is a federal road from Abuja to Okene and all measures should be put in place to avoid accidents.

I,  Akojeh Imidowojo from public administration department hereby challenge the National Association of Kogi State Students (NAKOSS) President, Comrade Doris Ohiza to wake up to the responsibility of leadership.

Presently, we don’t have Students Union Government and the NAKOSS president is the only mouth piece of the students, for now. Being the NAKOSS president you should speak for the students at all times. Even when the school management or the state government decide to increase the tuition fee within two week, regardless of the hardship in the state, all you could do is advising the students to try and pay their school fees?
