The Student Union Government (SUG) is a body of students formed in tertiary institutions that seek to address the basic needs and yearnings of Nigerian students and also serve as a mouth-piece of students to the VC in a university, rector in a ploytecnic and provost as in the case of a college of education.
These needs may be conducive hostels, convinient lecture venues, security on campus, provision of portable water, better transport system, power supply to lecture halls and the hostels, etc.
A closer look at our various universities will reveal that these basic things that are essential to students are not available, even if they are, they're not in abundance. Just recently, some Nigerian students in one of Nigeria's universities were killed while staging a peaceful protest seeking to address the limited supply of water on their campus, just last year students in another university protested against poor power supply in their hostel and the list is endless.
What i'm saying is this: does this mean that the SUG excos in these schools aren't doing what they ought to do or they're just they for the money? OR is the university administration responsible for these insufficiencies?
In addition, please tell us one significant project that the current SUG excos of your school have carried out or what they've proposed that the university has refused to adhere to. Thank you
