University Of Lagos SUG Is Back (ULSU) by micholalo(m): 7:14am On Mar 27, 2015 |
CAMPUS OPINION PRESS RELEASE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS STUDENTS' UNION ELECTION: Education Students on top of history.At about forty-eight hours to the general election, the University of Lagos community witnessed a massive turnout of student voters from various faculties and departments yesterday, Thursday, 26th March, 2015, to mark the rebirth of the deceased Students’ Union in the university. The voting exercise which commenced around 10am took place at the university sport centre where eligible students got the floor to throw the weight of their supports behind their choice candidates. The various ULSU positions scrambled for include that of the President, General Secretary, P.R.O, and Welfare. Three candidates, Hassan Olamilekan Abiodun (Micro Biology), Martins Abiodun A.(Science &Tech Education) and Oshin Oluwagbenga olushola (Law) competed against each other for the office of ULSA President with Abiodun emerging as the lucky winner of the seat with 599 votes, thus gave his opponents an inimitable defeat. Close to him, in terms of votes secured, was Hassan Olamilekan who received 330 votes while Oshin Oluwagbenga garnered 305 votes. For the post of ULSU General Secrectary, Babalola Olufemi Paul (Est. Mgt) was the striker with 709 vote shots while Ukpai John Raymond chose to be the goal keeper but conceded lots of goals convertible to 512 votes, thereby making his opponent emerged the winner of the contest. Also the battle for the post of the ULSU P.R.O was hot but won gallantly by Adegunroye Olakunle Charles (Science & Tech), one of the three mighty contenders who received 492 votes, while Nwaokoro Nzubechukwu Samuel came second as he struggled to survive the heavy missiles of votes fired againt him but to no avail cos he lost so much blood. The aspirant who came third, Adeniran Adegboye Wasiri, was at the mercy of the voters to receive 267 votes. Meanwhile, the last post that was keenly contested for was the office of ULSU welfare. The three aspirants who featured in the contest for the seat were Olanisemi Oluwatobi Emmanuel, the winner of the seat with 652 votes (social science), Owolabi Oluwaseyi Babatunde, who got 414 votes (Chemistry) and Okolie Richard Nnamdi (Philosophy), receiving159 votes. From all accounts, the whole exercise was peaceful but the begging question is, “will the university community continue to enjoy its fortunes of tranquillity and freedom from campus war?” Seen on the whatsapp page of educational administration students of the university is a thought provoking post which read thus: Heard Yaba Tech newly elected SUG president was shot on his fore-head on Monday evening right after election. Am afraid...Unilag SUG has been re- instituted, grassroot politics begins, God-Fatherism starts, cultism unleashed, radicality unleashed, violence unleashed, students animality unleashed.....Hmmm chaos is on its way to the door of every Unilag Students, restlestness is approaching every Unilag's Business ventures, students will no longer be able to move at will on campus, Night reading will turn out to be every students' worst fear. If not now, later it will manifest. The deed has been done, SUG has been re-instituted. It will only seem peaceful at the beginning but will later get out of hands at the end. Well...not jst happy about that. I belive students can always make a peaceful protest without SUG, as we'v always been doing. I pray Unilag continues to be peaceful as have always known it to be during my academic stay. #godblessunilag source: www.campusopinion. |
