Abstract
The absence of a structured and secure channel for student expression at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has left many important issues overlooked or unheard. Existing options, such as social media platforms, are often unsafe, unorganized, and unable to provide anonymity or encourage honest expression without fear of judgment or ridicule. This project (Design and Implementation of UNIBEN Students Engagement/Expression Platform) seeks to address these challenges by creating a dedicated, moderated, and student-centered platform that empowers the UNIBEN community to share experiences and highlight everyday student concerns. The platform will be designed and developed using Figma, WordPress, and other essential web tools to ensure a responsive, user-friendly, and scalable interface. Core features will include anonymous story submissions, categorized topics such as academics, housing, finance, and safety, as well as interaction options like comments and feedback under strict moderation. Security and visibility will remain top priorities through features such as anti-bot protection, content approval workflows, and privacy safeguards that encourage open participation. By providing a safe and structured space for expression, the project not only amplifies underrepresented student voices but also sets the foundation for future growth, including AI-driven content moderation, story highlights, and also more development for broader accessibility.
