Students disquiet over non-functioning website

 

Students of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) have expressed their displeasure at the non-functioning website of the institute.

The students stated their position on the issue during an interview in Lagos.

A National Diploma 2 student,  Ogunwale Omolara, noted that  students are not well informed in the absence of a well functioning website.

" In this kind of era, you have to do what people are doing.  You have to make things easier and undemanding.  If any information needs to be passed to us, it has to be through the website for the easiest access," she said.

According  to her, a good website for the institute will help publicize the image of the school since it will provide reliable information on programmes offered.

" To me it is just very disappointing to have even noticed this at first instance, and still have to come here, I feel perplex on that on daily basis, because it is mind-boggling that a communication institute like NIJ, is not in accordance with the new age of communication, I don’t think it has ever appealed to anyone in recent time, so it shouldn’t appeal to me either’’. Omolara claimed.

One of the SRC member, Akinleye Olusegun said, ‘’ it is just not pleasant to hear that anytime our result comes out, we don’t have access to it until we come down to the school premises, where it is been posted."

" Why can’t it be accessible wherever we are. In fact if you have left the school that very day the result is posted on the board, some people can’t stand the fact that they need to know what’s up with them.  You won’t just find it funny that they will come back to check their result on board,’’ Olusegun stated.
