BEYOND BOUNDARIES: BRINGING FRESHERS AND STALITES TOGETHER AT PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION'S FRESHER WEEK

The fun-filled game day hosted by the Department of Public Administration during Freshers Week took place in the wide-open space of the Faculty of Administration's basement on Friday the 1st of December 2023 at 3pm. The event which was initially meant for students in the department of Public Administration, pleasantly surprised us by attracting students from other departments within the Faculty.

The basement became an exciting hub for a FIFA tournament, where students, armed with PlayStation 4 and 5 controllers, engaged in spirited matches. What started as a friendly competition within our department soon expanded, drawing in more players from different parts of the Faculty.

Alongside the digital gaming buzz, there were classic games like Ayo Olopon, Ludo, Whot cards, Table Tennis, and Jenga bricks. The room echoed with laughter and friendly competition, making it easy for students to connect, no matter which department they were from.

The unexpected gathering in this unconventional spot showed how inclusive the event was, welcoming both new and experienced students. It was a day where everyone came together and enjoyed each other's company, creating a sense of togetherness in the basement.

After the excitement downstairs, we moved to the Faculty of Administration Extension for an anticipated movie night featuring "Dark October."

At 6:13, arrival ensued, with encounters involving the President and the Public Relations Officer. Approximately five minutes later, a substantial influx of freshmen commenced, making their presence known in sizable numbers.

In a playful gesture, the PLO (sammie) orchestrated a game with airtime as its prize tag. Subsequently, Sammie addressed the freshmen, also urged them to be punctual towards their mountaineering scheduled to hold the next day by 7am.

A jovial atmosphere ensued as the librarian and the president engaged in lively photo sessions. Musical interludes followed, leading to a call for settling down by Sammie as the movie was about to begin.

This movie served as a relaxing end to the day, providing a comfortable setting for students to unwind and strengthen the connections made throughout the event.

THE LION

"THE LION" it's a term used overtime to describe the doggedness and tenacity of previous speakers of the public administration house of parliament in delivering its constitutional duties and it has become a conventional norms going forward. On the 21st of December 2023 at the post graduate lecture theater the parliamentary sitting of the house held, having in attendance quite a numerous number of students from different constituencies. The sitting which started on a cozy note with various financial updates from different offices ends up in a state of dilemma between the offices of the director of socials and the financial secretary of the department.

Schooled in the Chemistry of Football: Public Administration Fails the First Test.

It was supposed to be an afternoon of excitement as the Department of Public Administration faced off against the Department of Chemistry in their opening game of the Great Ife Football League. The match began with intensity, as the Chemistry team launched a high press right from kickoff, signaling their determination to secure a win by any means necessary. The Public Administration team matched their intensity, leading to a fiercely competitive first half that ended in a goalless draw. The second half saw Public Administration creating several promising chances, largely through the efforts of their energetic winger, Mubby. Despite his relentless runs and skillful attempts to break through the defense, all efforts ultimately proved abortive, as Chemistry’s defense held firm. Public Administration struggled to convert their opportunities—a performance reminiscent of a certain team from the red half of Manchester. Chemistry finally broke the deadlock with a clinical strike from their rig...
