Digest: the Best Board in UDUS Ayobami Lukman The privilege to be a student of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto cannot be estimated. However, many applied but less were admitted. The University which is the most peaceful university in Nigeria is nothing but a citadel of learning. Before you can be a graduate of UDUS, you should have been awarded in both academic excellence and good character. But inside Udus, there live some minds, the mind of fact checkers, the heart of right writers, under the shade of journalism. The campus journalists, to whom I belong is another fortune story that I will ever tell in my life. I belong to the News Digest, the best press board in Udus. The forum of the intelligentsia, the gathering of the most influential campus journalists, not only in Sokoto varsity but throughout Nigerian campuses. To make it clear enough, the News Digest I know in Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto is awarded as the best press board of the year 2018. Not only that but also produces the best campus journalists of the year. Indeed, the only press board I ever see in Usmanu Danfodiyo reporting investigative stories, working like the mainstream journalists, writing news in its real sense and making the danfodites feel alive by giving fact information. Being a campus journalist and a member of the Digest Press is an opportunity that can't be over emphasized. I learn to be a watch dog in the campus, voice for the voiceless, expose the ill of the society around me, and fight for the justice in any society I find myself. I don't only learn how to write or how to face crowd to warm their body during harmattan with word but journalism also teaches me how to be myself. How to creatively create my future, gain connection, widen scope and associate with the best and influential personalities in life are what journalism exposes me to. For now, I'm not like yesterday, the blood of Digest flows in me as I experience the second born. Without exerggiration, the knowledge I have acquired can sustain me for a decade time. I could recall my first expirience as a campus journalist. It was two months ago when I joined the press board. A memory of incidence I will never forget, talking before crowd, expressing thought in front of the fellow students among whom can teach me grammar. Yes, it happened, while Digest Talkshop was some days to take place, as first of its kind on the soil of Udus. To let people be aware of the program, I was forced to talk to people, that was my first time. At first, it was not easy but later, the glossophobia disappeared. As a student of Sokoto Varsity and a campus journalist, I'm aware that I still have a very Long way to go. I learn from my past to make my future. I like the writers as I learn from their writings for I know, rabbit learn to climb tree little by little without falling down. Challenge improves man while criticism makes him know his limit. I'm proud to be a campus journalist. I'm proud to belong to Digest press board.
