On Saturday, July 27, 2023, the Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall Health Committee organized a sanitation program to clean up the hall, which some members of the hall volunteered to join. While that is important and commendable, Zikites need more than that for a cleaner and healthier Zik hall. A sensitization and change of orientation showed that cleanliness of the hall starts with the cleanliness of individual Zikites. To add context, the pictures in this article were snapped at different areas within the hall about 24 hours after the sanitation.
To maintain a clean environment, little actions like dedicating a few minutes each day to sweep and tidy your corner of the room, making your bed, and putting away your belongings will help create a clutter-free environment for the proper disposal of sewage. Refuse disposal is also important, disposing of all refuse, no matter how small, in refuse bins around the hall and not dumping it on the floor as litter. We know you are related to Michael Jordan and want to show your skills by throwing refuse from a distance, but it only makes the hall cleaner if you move closer and dispose of it properly.
Obeying the rules related to hygiene within the hall is also important. A number of tanks around the hall have prints of "Do not Wash Anything Here" on them, yet students find the spot to be the best place to do their washing. This action, just like every unhygienic action, poses a threat to the health of Zikites, and just like the health committee has said, A HEALTHIER ZIK HALL STARTS WITH YOU, but not just with you participating in the sanitation exercise but with you consciously maintaining habits that keeps the hall clean. This is to charge Zikites to do better in maintaining the cleanliness of the hall.
