_”Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”_ NELSON MANDELA.

Students unionism is widely believed to be an instrument via which organization of student is maintained.

Students unionism were established in various institutions of higher learning to give room for unity, orderliness and smooth transmission between students, school authorities, also State and Federal Government.

Unionism in higher institutions does not know the key objectives for which they were established.
Some sees it as freedom to enjoy and as opportunity to cause mayhem and anarchy in their institutions.

It is true that there are legitimate issues of poor service and maladministration for which students should feel genuinely aggrieved, but it has since been proven that violence is not a solution to any problem. Instead of violence, peaceful protests is defiantly a more viable option in getting authorities to listen to students grievances and explore opportunity for dialogue.

If the peaceful protest fail to achieve results, students will then switch to online campaigns to press for their demands instead of embarking on violent street protest.

More also, allowing a student that has little or no skill in governance to govern or oversea the affair of students can easily result in disorderliness and unorganized government which might result in the use of violence to achieve a goal that can easily be achieved through dialogue, petitions and online campaigns.

Furthermore, the various student union leaders in tertiary institutions should know that they were elected to serve students and represent their interest in order to promote discipline, orderliness and unity among students and their school authorities.

Unionism should not be seen as an avenue to amass wealth but as an opportunity to serve.
