The University of Ibadan Student Union under the office of the PRO have organized a three-day bootcamp that started on Friday the 19th of January to Sunday, 21st of January, 2024.
The bootcamp featured over 6 sessions over the course of the three days; sessions like videography, photography, social media influencing, graphics design among others, with each training session lasting up to four hours.
According to the Students Union PRO, Adetona Tosin (2tancos), the bootcamp was initially intended to serve as a training session for members of the PR team, but was expanded to accommodate UITES who might be interested in these skills without necessarily wanting to be a part of the SU PR team, which, according to him, was why the bootcamp was made free.
Further speaking with this correspondent, 2tancos averred that an estimate of N200, 000 naira was spent to organize the bootcamp together; adding that of the 851 UITES who registered for the training, only about 500 UITES participated in the bootcamp. He also stated that a total of 20 facilitators were in attendance, some of whom are UITES, while other trainers like the persons of Yemi King, John Ayomide and others are non-UITES.
