What would have become the fate of the Kogi State highest citadel of
learning if she had faced the Nigeria University Commision (NUC) for
accreditation this month? This was the thoughtful  question by a lecturer of the State University through a social media platform.
The state varsity which has been under lock for over 100 days now is supposed to present her courses for accredition this May.
According to the lecturer, who is of the department of mass communication, about 80 percent of the courses offered in the school would have failed accredition and that would amount to shutting down of the school by the commission.
The communication lecturer further revealed that some of the lecturers
have not been paid for over a year, as such, any student who thinks he/she can get appropriate grading from lecurers in this condition could be mentality sick.
“Just wondering what would have become of KSU if her courses were to
be presented for accreditation this May except for the strike. Over 80% of them would have been de-accredited by NUC…KSU shot down.”
He continued, “Can’t stop wondering what the students would have been
doing in school if the strike had been called off without resolving
all the problems.
If you think a lecturer that has not been paid for the past one year and some months can teach and grade you as he should- you need to visit a psychiatrist”, the lecturer stated.
The setback hitting the state higest citadel of learning and other institutions in the confluence state is as a result of the strike embark on by the lecturers of the school whose leadership insists that
the state government must holistically meet up their demands before resuming their duties.
In a similar development, the KSU students are planning to take a drastic action as the date given by the government to open the school failed.
The students are currently deliberating on what to do to make authorities outside the state come to their aid.
As learnt, the government is working hard to see the students get back to school but her efforts are yet to yield any tangible result.
