200 Level students of the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, (SAAT), Federal university of Akure (FUTA) took to the streets to protest against the inhuman treatment meted out to them all in the guise of offering MCS 213.
MCS 213 also called agricultural meteorology involves both theoretical and practical aspects, the latter being the cause of discord. Students were to farm and tend their crops, build compost and perform all form of farm practices up to four days a week, this was done with the pressure of text and exams looming ahead.
Test began in earnest last week Monday 8th of March 2021, Shuttling between home, farm, night classes and test venues became unbearable as students pleaded for the practical to be canceled as Corona had eaten most of the productive time and students were falling sick in alarming numbers, but this man didn't bulge, in response to this he dropped so many assignments which were all to be completed within a short period time, grudgingly they complied. The last straw that broke the camels back, was when a student was stung in the eye by a bee on one of the farms, the reps gathered together to have a meeting with the lecturer but instead of being considerate he maintained his stand and asked each student to bring two used tyres before 7am the next day and be prepared to work till 5pm. With this revelation the angry students mobilized themselves and rolled the tyre all the way from the farm to the student affairs building.


It seems Education in NIJA is a scam after all!
