In the dynamic world of student politics, a resilient force of change is always at play. Despite the challenges and obstacles that may come our way, one thing is clear: we will not be silenced. To the oppressors who believe they can relegate us from student politics, we have a message: your attempts will only fuel our determination and drive for a better future.

  Student politics is a breeding ground for the leaders of tomorrow, and it is within this arena that young minds engage in the exchange of ideas, the pursuit of social justice, and the fight for a more inclusive and equitable society. However, it is not uncommon to encounter individuals who try to stifle this vibrant and passionate space.
  
These oppressors may attempt to silence us by imposing bureaucratic hurdles, suppressing our voices, or using underhanded tactics to maintain their grip on power. But the spirit of student politics is not easily extinguished. We, the students, have a deep well of resilience that will always lead us to seek justice, accountability, and representation.

One of the fundamental principles of democracy is the right to free speech and the expression of diverse perspectives. We refuse to be pushed aside or disregarded in the face of adversity. We will fight to protect these rights, as they are the very essence of student politics.

Our determination is not merely driven by stubbornness; it's fueled by the belief that positive change is possible through student politics. We know that our collective efforts can shape our institutions, affect policies, and pave the way for a more just and equitable society. We refuse to accept complacency or injustice, and we will continue to challenge the status quo.

  As we persist in the face of oppression, we recognize that unity is our strength. Together, we can build a student politics landscape that welcomes all voices and empowers all students to actively participate in shaping their future. We can create a space where ideas are celebrated, collaboration is encouraged, and the spirit of inclusivity reigns supreme.

  To the oppressors who think they can relegate us from student politics, we say this: your attempts will not deter us. We will stand resilient, we will speak out, and we will work tirelessly to ensure that student politics remains a force for positive change, a platform for young leaders to emerge, and a beacon of hope for a brighter future.

In the face of adversity, the flame of student politics burns even brighter. We will not be silenced. We will continue to fight for what is just, and our voices will echo through the halls of change and progress.

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training

A bold new project aimed at transforming the lives of 100 young people in Gombe is underway, as Ishaq Abdullahi Shehu, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps member from Kano State, turns his agricultural expertise into a community development program. The initiative focuses on modern fish farming techniques designed to combat youth unemployment and boost local food production. Ishaq, a graduate of agriculture from Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil with specializations in forestry, fisheries, and wildlife, is committed to changing the perception of farming. “Agriculture must be seen as a viable business, not just a way of life,” he explains. His program centers on the innovative Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS), a method that recycles water through mechanical and biological filtration to allow for high-density, sustainable fish farming while minimizing the use of land and water. Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
