On a freezing morning of the 28th of August in 2023, the dawn embraces the earth, on this day time, the campus of Usmanu Danfodiyo University in Sokoto (UDUS) reflects an atmosphere showing that the semester has come to an end. Some students bundled their luggage as they moved through pathways that led to motor parks in hundreds and thousands as joy and happiness showed all over their faces.
While others were trooping out of the campus, Kewulere Abdulateef, 25, a 400-level education student of the institution, from Ilorin, Kwara State, and a self-sponsored orphan who survives only on tutorial was standing, stranded as he lamenting the fate which befell him.
“You see, this would not have happened to me. I finished my exam last week, I ought to be at home by now but due to subsidy removal, I couldn’t afford the transport fares so I decided to stay and started writing my project but this morning my gadgets and bags were stolen,” he lamented.
