information week in our school is biased.. why should it only feature presentations from the media fraternity only?
ReplyDeleteyou talked of A NIGERIAN?. anyway, i wish all of us a nice information week. but next time, try to ensure that all the departments are fearured. the programme i have come across only favors our media friends. where are the managers in this whole program? the IT gurus may have nothing or very thin benefit from the whole program, not forgeting the old foxes of library.i rest my case
ReplyDeletehaha Jacob, the problem is with your kakistoctratic IT department. When people lack effective leaders, Do not expect workshops to be organised for you from the blues.
