THE FIRE INCIDENCE AT OKEKE HOSTEL, UNN: An Eye-Witness Account

INTRODUCTION:
It is no longer news that 300 series in Okeke Hostel of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka has gone up in flames. However, there are a number of things you may not know or most probably, you have heard but still do not believe. As a result of this, I have taken it upon myself to add mine to the many write-ups about the darkest of all Christmas in the history of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

THE DETAILS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
On Wednesday, 23rd December, 2015 at about 8:00pm, I was about retiring for the day, haven returned early that night, when my friend and colleague in the department sent me a distress call, “Chibueze! Where are you? Please I need your help. My hostel is on fire.” On hearing her, I found myself wishing again I were a Superman (if it ever existed outside the world of dreams and fictions).

NUESA, UNN sets New Record with the CONDUCTS of the FIRST EVER ELECTRONIC VOTING

The 2015 election of the National Union of Engineering Students (NUESA) University of Nigeria, Nsukka was a huge success courtesy of the innovation emanating from the minds of the members of the electoral board headed by Sen.

Also, turnout of voters which was usually very low in the faculty of engineering witnessed a turnaround as the students of the faculty were intrigued by the whole idea of the electoral commission leveraging technology so as to curb all of the malpractices in the electoral process. The voter turnout was 200% more than that of the last election thanks to the freedom given to students to vote from wherever.

At the beginning of the electoral process,
