*WORDS FROM THE NEWS DIGEST TO THE NEW STUDENTS* It is a news that is already digested that UDUS has just released her admission lists. The news that one has been admitted into a University is the most cheering news that comes to an admission seeker. At that moment one begins to feel that one has been upgraded in level and can't wait to be lectured by the professors of ones's bound University. The thoughts of leaving home to a totally new world and meeting new friends are equally heart-warming. The News Digest would like to use this medium to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to all those who have been admitted to the most peaceful University in Nigeria: Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto. As you are set to join the world of Danfodites, accept these few words from the BEST PRESS BOARD ON CAMPUS:NEWS DIGEST to welcome you to the most peaceful University in Nigeria. Here in Sokoto, the sun is very much closer to the ground. So, your first major task is to acclimatise with the harsh weather condition we have here, for it is under this scotching sun you will do most of your activities. Also during harmattan, it is as cold as it was hot in the summers. This is one of the reasons we say: "If you think education is easy come to UDUS". You don't only have your academic activities to deal with but also the volatile weather. The University is a world on her own. Little wonder it was derived from the word universe. This is a world, where you will come in contact with people of different characteristics; the good, the bad and the ugly. To succeed in the University, one has to be very selective of the people one keeps associates with. If really you want to succeed in this world, your friends should be people that have positive influence on you, and those that are equally concerned about your success. For you that thinks gaining admission means you have been offered freedom to fly like a bird that had been caged for years, then "hallowed be your mistake". Gaining admission means your future has been placed in your hands and what will happen to it depends on your actions and inactions althrough your stay in the University. This is a rare opportunity, that you should grab with both hands, and go out for it whole-heartedly. Do not allow yourself to be discouraged by senior students. You will hear them saying: "Don't even think about scoring A, it is Impossible" because it is impossible for him or her does not make it entirely impossible. Believe in yourself and never settle for less, when you can get more. As the saying goes "Time is wealth" your time on campus is precious to you. It should not be misused. It should be spent on things that will bring about positive change. Engage yourself with activities that build capacity and will bring you up to the standard expected of undergraduate students. The university is a good avenue to carve a niche for yourself. Delay is dangerous. One thing you should avoid is procrastination. Some thing that should be done today should not be postponed till tomorrow. Don't be among those that would say; "I still have 10weeks before examination". The fire brigade approach is not the best. Do not allow yourself to be bewitched by the witch of procrastination and to bedeviled by the devil of laziness. Be actively active. Everyone wants to be loved and have his or her prince or princes charming as it is "body no be firewood" but, the truth is, it is just too early for a fresh student to jump into a relationship. Make your feet firm on the ground of UDUS before you think of jumping into a relationship. The rules and regulations that govern this University may be somewhat conservative , they will not bend for any individual, but are binding on any individual that falls under her authority. I urge you to be law abiding and stay away from trouble. Work hard, pray harder and sleep less.

To all aspirants of the most peaceful university in Nigeria Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto state, it is our privilege to announce that the 2017/2018 admission list has been released.
