am happy about that.
but i have a complain on how the university plans its events,i am a concerned student who believes that the university could do better on this matter.
How do you plan events or even public lectures in halls you know there are classes to be carried out there without even putting a notice on an alternative hall to carry out the class lesson that was supposed to be.
i have seen this happen again and again and no one has bothered to address the matter!!its very frustrating!!!
