Dear Jambitos, once again I welcome you to the campus and preemptively wish you best in your new assignments and chosen careers. I hope you’re ready for the lovely weather and friendly mosquitoes that’s capable of sending one to the grave?
This is just by the way. No doubt you must have heard it or maybe eavesdropped through dialogue, the unprecedented condition of Sokoto, it is harsh and scorching or I should say, rather ‘hmm!.’ It may sound frightening, however, this is not to scare you but to prepare you ahead of the journey; to instill peace in you and maintain the healthy being you’ve been nursing for years.
From the subsequent paragraphs, this article will be a compass; guiding the newly admitted students who have worked diligently and as well done well to be the next set of Danfodiyo’s freshers on how to live peacefully and healthily on the campus. You see, the seasoned students are part of the system and they are already enrolled– have ostensibly experienced both the friendly and hostile climate at Usmanu Danfodiyo University. No doubt, they can withstand the vicissitude of the cold and hot. This indicates that they have adapted with the atmosphere and the environment.
To live in blue weather and walk a blueprint of tasks awaiting you, it is essential to arrest any shameful objects that can set a handicap to the way of the light gloss, I hope you understand the metaphor.
Currently, the weather is about 41 or 42 degrees celsius, just exactly opposite how intense the harmattan and rainy are. Therefore, in order to avoid a story that touches, do endeavor to stalk the following in your loads; an umbrella, both soft attires and sweaters for rainy and harmattan,
Hijab, Mosquitoes nets, socks and etal. You will not be told you need water, when you resume, you’ll know.
I hope this piece of mine will help you in tackling any challenges the campus might hold. I wish you a win-win situation in your stay. Once again, congratulations and welcome to the most peaceful University in Nigeria
