According to a new student of Chemical Engineering Department, Abd Waheed Tella, he said receiving lectures in OAU is strictly the survival of the fittest.
“Attending classes here is war and it is strictly survival of the fittest especially for compulsory courses. If you come to class 30 minutes before a lecture, you can’t find a seat,” he said.
