A cross section of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) students has frowned against Management’s decision to relocate bread vendors to the activities centre.

Following the issuance of the relocation directive by the school management, the bread vendors expressed their displeasure while the students also shared their thoughts as regards the development.

According to a HND2 (Higher National Diploma) student from the Accountancy department, Adesanya Israel, such a decision will give room for strangers to infiltrate into the campus to perform other plans in the guise of buying bread.

“These vendors selling at the gates are a form of intermediary between the students inside and other buyers outside including the students that are in their respective hostel. The buyers outside will not have to come inside the Campus to get these items. It’s very easy for them to get whatever they want from these vendors at the situated location unlike walking into the campus.

“Once these vendors are moved into the campus, this will enable more strangers into the campus in the name of buying products and can use this opportunity to execute other plans.

Adesanya, however, made a suggestion that the Management should rather provide mobile shops for the vendors.

“I will suggest LASUSTECH should get these vendors mobile shops around to make it convenient for the students and other buyers to get the product in a convenient manner.” Adesanya said.

Another student from the Chemical Engineering department, Aladebonu Adeyemi, condemned the relocation directive claiming that such a move will make the bread lose patronage to other competitors.

“I don’t think it is good enough because the sales will surely drop. It will be easier for people to buy KD bread and neglect LASPOTECH bread.” He said.

Similarly, a year one student from the Mass Communication Department, Omodun Omobolanle, opined that the decision is not favorable as most students may find it difficult to walk down to the activities centre in order to purchase bread after lectures.

“I don’t think the decision is ideal. Reason being that not all students will want or be able to go down to activities after a strenuous lecture. Sometimes, the sun might be scorching and a student won’t be able to walk down to activities. Personally, I don’t go to activities if not for photocopying or something cogent and some other students might be like me.” She said
