SCHOOL STILL VACATES 22ND DECEMBER

Rumours have been circulating on the campus about the school management shutting down the school on the 15th for Christmas and New Year break. This, according to rumour is due to WUAG which the school will be hosting 200 Universities in a sports competition.

The rumour follows that students in the Halls of residence will vacate their hostels so that the school management can receive the visitors in these hostels.

However, the school has not released any official statement confirming this. Students have expressed concern about the accuracy of the rumours, and are asking for more information from the school administration especially those in the school hostels.

A WhatsApp conversation between the Dean of Agriculture and a student showed that the school still vacates on the 22nd of December as stated in the school-reviewed calendar.

In the Dean’s words, “NO BREAK was discussed at the Senate meeting, and there is no vacation until 22nd December, for Christmas and New Year, to resume 3rd January 2024.”

He further said in this message, “WAUG is part of school life, and lectures will keep running simultaneously.”

He further commanded in the message for the news to be spread.
