A non-governmental organization, Helping Hands Foundation on Saturday took the newly admitted students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) on a guided tour to ensure they get familiar with the university environment.
The tour which started from the school's Relaxation Centre (RC) covered important landmarks of the institution, including the library, science laboratories, sports complex, and others.
Speaking with ECHO MEDIA, the founder of the Foundation, Oladipupo Oluwaseun popularly known as Tahnitee said the purpose of the tour was to ensure new intakes feel comfortable in the new surroundings they found themselves in.
Oladipupo added that the Foundation aims at creating an environment where the fresher can feel welcome and confident due to the difficulty of adjusting to new terrain.
