The management of Emmanuel Alayande University of Education, Oyo (EAUED, Oyo), has appealed to all relevant agencies to come to its rescue with the construction of a pedestrian bridge for the use of staff, students, and members of the university community, to ensure maximum safety and security.
Speaking with newsmen, the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Olanrewaju Olaniyan, expressed concern that the sight of students, staff members, and other members of the community crossing the expressway to access the university has remained a serious worry for him and the management.
In his words, Olaniyan said, “On behalf of the students and management of this university, I am calling on relevant stakeholders to come to our rescue with the construction of a pedestrian bridge to ease the safety and movement of students and staff to the university environment. We have written to the Federal Ministry of Works under the ministerial leadership of His Excellency, Engr. Dave Umahi, to instruct the contractor on the field to put an end to the dangerous situation of having to cross the express road to access the university.”
He added, “The safety of our staff and students, and members of the university community, is important and paramount to our pursuit of academic excellence. Marrying the town with the gown is important, and we can only achieve that maximally through the assurance of safety for members of the university environment, including staff and students.”
