FUNAAB alumni build N5m car park, name it after President Buhari

Students of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) took up the responsibility of building an ultra modern car park at the gate of the campus worth N5m. Having completed the magnificent and expansive building, they decided to name it after the president of the country Muhammadu Buhari.

The project was recently commissioned during the set aside activities held in commemoration of the university's Founder’s Day and 30th anniversary. The commissioning was done by commissioner Da Silva.

It was gathered that the completion of the car park was ensured by the recently dissolved FUNAAB Students’ Union Government (SUG) executive which was led by Ayobami Popoola.

The SUG president Ayobami affirmed that the car park would be known as President Muhammadu Buhari Car Park/Bus Stop or PMB Square for short. Even more, two shed stands were named after the vice chancellor of the university, Kolawole Salako, and a former student leader named Oluwafisayomi Adelaja.

Expressing his happiness over the completion of the project, Popoola said it was a dream come true. He added that the car park will provide a viable solution to one of the problems affecting the institution.

He said: “This is going to be a welcome development because we have just been able to salvage one of the problems affecting the university, which is a key factor to the growth of the university. What we have just done is, one of its kind which is a landmark in the history of students’ unionism and we have not had any regret for embarking on this project.”

Going forward, the vice chancellor Kolawole Salako appreciated the students and the executives of the union for their act of goodwill. He also tagged the project as one that will definitely help students get vehicles to and fro lectures on a regular basis.

His words were: “It is going to be a lot of relieve for commercial vehicles plying from Gate to the Campus and definitely people are going to have a space to sit while waiting for vehicles, the commercial vehicles will also be relieved having a conducive environment to really do their work,” he said. “This project will go a long way in term of community relationships.”

In explaining why he decided to name the park after Buhair, the student union leader had this to say: "Our decision was based on the fact that we appreciate the efforts of Federal Government led by President Buhari on the anti corruption crusade, economy and security nationwide as well as the dualization of Camp-Alabata road leading to main campus. Such an impeccable individual like President Buhari deserve to be honoured by FUNAAB Student Union."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
