Has The Amnesty Office Abandoned Its Beneficiaries In Achievers...



Has The Amnesty Office Abandoned Its Beneficiaries In Achievers University? Image result for Achievers University
The lackadaisical attitude of the Office of the Presidential Amnesty Program, its RM, and their expressions to the amnesty student and the schools are quite alarming.


A recent event in Achievers University, has shown how the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on the Amnesty program handles issues relating to student welfare and this appalling attitude is a far cry from the rules and regulations governing the program.

A number not less than 5 Amnesty Beneficiaries from the President Amnesty Program
where expelled for sending a notice of student welfare to the school authorities.

In the letter, the student wrote that  Achievers University should extend their power supply from 10pm to 5am, instead of the epileptic 7pm to 10pm.
They wrote that  Achievers University should add to the number of water tanks in the hostel to 3 water tanks as opposed to 1 water tank that is presently situated in the hostel.


 Achievers University replied the students with expulsion letter and alleged in their reply that the students where asking for 24hrs power supply and  Achievers University said they were threatened by the letter(Notice of Students Welfare) sent by the students.

According to the statement made by another student who wants to stay anonymous, she said 
“the said letter was not written by the five students expelled, and that it was a collective decision made by all Amnesty Beneficiaries in  Achievers University and that the signatories to the letter was not among the five students expelled. We have been trying to reach our RM(Onachukwu Joy a.k.a. Chika) to relay this matter to the Amnesty Office but she has not been responding, she would not return our calls/messages. Our suspicion is that she has been bribed by the school not to relate this matter to the Amnesty Office for immediate action.
  On  the issue of rejection of the said letter,  Achievers University wanted the students to sign that they are embarking on a protest against the school and that they asked for 24hrs supply which was never in their letter. No officer was assaulted and that claim by  Achievers University was just to ensure that they expelled the students because they came to us the remaining amnesty beneficiaries, saying that they will expel us like they expelled the five students." 



The question on the minds of the general public are:
1. Is it not the responsibility of the school to provide portable water and ensure the availability of water for the students?

2. Is power supply not a responsibility the school must provide for the students?

3. Is providing power for students to read and do some ironing not part of the schools responsibility?

4. Are the students not entitle to the above after the huge amount The Federal Government/Amnesty Office paid for their school fees and hostel accommodation?

5. Is the school not supposed to reach out to Amnesty Office since it was the office that sent the students to them?

6. Who did the school call before sending the students on expulsion?

7. What law did the students broke that led to their expulsion?

8. Are the students in question signatories to the said letter (Notice of Students Welfare)?

9. What is Amnesty Office position on the said expulsion?
