In a handover ceremony held on the 5th of July at the Junior Common Room, Barrister Oke, the Assistant Hall Warden, led the procession as the new set of executives took their oath of office. The Hall Chairman, Adeniji Uthman (Yamburger), addressed various important issues concerning the hall.
One of the key issues addressed by Yamburger was the preservation of the hall’s tradition. He appealed to the hall management to consider revamping the allocation system in order to accommodate both freshers and finalists in the same rooms. Currently, the accommodation system segregates freshers, staylites, and finalists into different blocks, which hinders the transfer of values associated with the Zikism tradition.
Yamburger also raised concerns about the inadequate water supply in the halls. He explained that the lack of water is primarily due to the insufficient number of tanks in areas where the pumping machines are operating.
In response to these issues, Barrister Oke expressed his commitment, with the next hall warden, to ensuring a reliable water supply in the hall. He expressed his dissatisfaction with Zikites having to struggle for water, especially during examination periods.
Furthermore, Barrister Oke affirmed that he would collaborate closely with the next administration to illuminate the quadrangle and ensure full access for Zikites to the Junior Common Room (JCR).
As a gesture of appreciation, certificates of service were presented to the former executives during the event.
