Teaching methods refer to the general principles or a target plan used for classroom instructions. here, teaching is done in a systematic and organized way. Teaching technique is a precise style or concrete procedures that must be followed by teachers with the intent on reaching their goals

Every teacher has a goal which he/she must achieve at the end of every class lesson.

This hostel that was almost burnt to the ground on a cold evening in December 2015 was seen as one of the best hostels in UNN because it had sufficient water supply and rarely had electricity issues. The fire outbreak led to the loss of properties of many occupants and fortunately no loss of life. the students affairs department did a good job in re-allocating those affected new hostels and passing by the once great hostel today, it dawned on me that the school authorities are making great efforts in restoring Okeke hostel to its former glory.
