A student, Damilola Origbemisuyi who resides close to the school lamented the poor delivery of internet service.
She noted that the problem has made calling and access to internet connection very difficult at a preferable time.

“Network providers should upgrade their facilities, as this will give students other options and make life more comfortable for those living around her area of residence,”
Another student, Eniayo Aluko, who resides at Medoline area, expressed dissatisfaction over the deplorable state of the network service.
She called for the need of network providers to expand their coverage to address the congestion on the networks, which has resulted in poor quality of services.

A blog journalist, who makes ends meet online, Fikayo Ajayi, blamed the problem of the location of the town and not the network providers, as some other parts of the state do not face a similar problem.
