While the National Association of Nigerian Students Zone- D (South West) visited the scene of the accident yesterday, and later to check on the only survivor out of the 13 on board, it was a great surprise to know that she actually came out of that crash. We were happy for her and concluded it was beyond human explanation. When her properties were checked, we discovered she has actually read everything in his Bible as she has marked virtually all the important points in all the chapter of the Bible. She might be discharged anytime from now has no frascture is said to have occured. Only God could have saved any living in that accident. Meanwhile NANS Zone-D secretariat has been temporarily moved to the State to ensure the death were adequately brought to book as the trailer who nobody is claiming ownership now passed one way on the express without any reason why both of the sides of the road were good and not blocked.

First educate your self, It is only in nigeria that the founder of kleptocracy in the person of Tinubu will join hands with the founder of war against indiscipline in the person of Buhari to deceive and mislead their gullible and naive followers ,if this is not hypocrisy then hypocrisy is this.
Whatever you guyz are doing in an attempt to dis-credit new government will not work. You Tanoids are just being jittery, you had the fair chance to change the nation for better in the last six years but you failed. Your leaders tore the path of corruption, impunity and favouritism. If Tinubu is all what you GEJ apologist claim he his, then you must apologize to Nigerians again for not jailing him in your 6years of mis-rule because that alone is enough reason you don't deserve a second term. Every party must have internal crisis except if there no human beings there, where there are human beings, there is going to be different interest.

UNIABUJA SUG ELECTION AGAIN - Analysis

Students Unionism at the University of Abuja has taken a strong dimension and up to prominence even beyond the University as the Students Union commands strong regard before the management.

Even at the level of NANS, University of Abuja Students Union leadership arrival at all times trigger attention of all. The SUG President Comr. Pelumi eloquent, vibrant and charismatic delivery is another thing to mention.

However, one major concern today with the prepared exit of the current SUG President of the University of Abuja is that who will succeed him. What will be the new UNIABUJA SUG President. While so many students have expressed worry that none of the aspirants can meet up with the current President or can be slightly compared to him, however Who is capable of winning the election and performed remain the interest. Will the new UNIABUJA SUG President be able to sustain the current standard, will he be able to surpass the present President. These are questions begging for serious answers. Let me therefore take you on a voyage on the present political situation.

Contesting in University of Abuja is like contesting for the Nigerian President because there are a lot of interests and factors that shapes the politics amongst which are language or region, religion, exposure, competence, personality, character, influence and finance unfortunately language and religion takes prominence a major challenge also in our larger society.

About six students have indicated interest in the position of the SUG President, while campaign is not officially on yet, aspirants are beginning to consult and mobilize support for the task ahead.

Out of the about six aspirants only three are believed may go to the polls. They are known with the following names as brand Seyi Teggy, Abu-jackson and Ahmed Schumaka.

Seyi Teggy. Seyi is a very strong candidate in the coming election and is believed to be the most experienced. He has contested and won in the SUG election before. He is the current PRO of the SUG and only Comrade in the race. Seyi has lived in the hostel for two years before and he appears to be on ground more in terms of popularity. He is a chemistry student, faculty of science, he might however have to confront challenges within his faculty as there are other contestants from the faculty of science. Seyi is yoruba and will benefit from the tribe solidarity but he will need the igbo support to win easily. Seyi is a christian and strong member of the RFC, one of the largest campus fellowship in UniAbuja which will also serve as advantage for him. Seyi appears to be the only candidate now with huge support in both the mini and main campus. Seyi is believed to be the preferred candidate of the current President and that will served as great advantage for him as the current administration has set up high standard for the union, however that will also earn him numbers of enemies particularly the opposition of the current SUG President. Seyi has wide political cover and is chance of winning the election is very bright. Seyi has been criticized to be small in stature compared to others, however the current President Pelumi and Gen. Sec. both are not looking different. He has 60% chance in an early observation.

Abu-Jackson. Abu is a major candidate that can not be under estimated in the coming election. Abu is a student of Political science, faculty of social science and he enjoys support of students because of his sound political moves. He is a Muslim northerner and strong member of Gamji. If adopted by Gamji which is the forum of all the northern states then he will have a stronger base in the election. While some students are speculating that he might eventually step down because he does not enjoy the support of the major power players in Gamji and major political leader from his department and northern students forum,Bello Yar'Adua who lost the presidential election to Comr. Pelumi in the last election with a very wide margin; he has however shown seriousness and determination in pursuing his target. Source closed to him confirmed that he will not step down for any reason. Abu-jackson is a good mobilizer with strong army of supporters across the various faculty and his chance of becoming the next SUG President is bright, however, Abu seem to share the same support base with Ahmed Schumaka. He will give a better fight to victory if he can get Igbos to adopt him. He has 50% chance of winning.

Ahmed Schumaka. Ahmed Schumaka is no doubt another interesting character that will add glamour to the election. Schumaka is a student of the most populous faculty, faculty of education and If capitalized on would be an advantage, though past record shows that the faculty add the lowest turn out in the last election. Schumaka is a Muslim and northerner believed to be the blessed candidate of the Northern students leader, Yar'Adua who lost election to the incumbent President. He will no doubt enjoy the Muslim solidarity which is a very strong one. However there are contradicting opinions about is acceptance as some stakeholders of Gamji feels he might not be marketable when compared to Abu-jackson as his disposition does not show that of a unionist just like his boss. Schumaka appears to be a major candidate whose finances would be of much advantage to him. Schumaka is currently a member of the SUG parliament that belong to the speaker caucus which also is an added strength however he has been criticized not to be vibrant in the house but has been a passive member in the house which will also earn strong opposition from the other caucus believed to be that of the President. Schumaka chance of winning is bright if he can get Abu-jackson to step down for him. He has 35% chances of winning at the moment.

Office of the public relation officer

NO TO PAYMENT OF 4600 NAIRA FOR JAMB ADMISSION REGULARISATION
It has been brought to the notice of the Students Union Government that there is a circular mandating the students of University of Abuja to pay the sum of 4600 naira for jamb regularisation; and we consider it as a capitalistic agenda against our students which is absolutely unacceptable to us.
I have the authority of the Students Union Government to inform the entire students that nobody, no student at all should pay such money and anybody that proceeds to pay such money after this notice did that on his or her own.
We have officially communicated our rejection of such to the University management and we hope they accept the reality of this truth in good faith.
It is our strong believe that all students admitted into this university, be it through jamb, remedial program and direct entry as the case may be paid acceptance fee to the university which should be enough for the university to process whatever regularisation they want to.
We therefore assure our great students that we are consistent about defending their welfare and we shall not let them down.

EducationUniabuja SUG President Conducts VC Round Students Hostel For Inspection by ICONgold(op): 9:22pm On Apr 18, 2015
UniAbuja SUG President drag Vice Chancellor to Hostel to inspect the hostel and advance welfare situation.
The Students Union President of University of Abuja Comr. Olajengbesi Pelumi today dragged the Vice Chancellor of ostelthe University to campus to inspect the state of the students hostel.
The President who was earlier this year rated as the most influential SUG President in Nigeria By Etiquette Africana conducted the VC round the hostel with other students leaders analyzing the students yearning and demanded that the students should be the management number one priority in all things.
When interviewed at the scene after the VC departure, the president in his usual eloquent and charismatic self espoused the rationale behind the demand that the Vice Chancellor must go round the Hostel and University facility before resumption on Monday. In his words; I have said this several times, to whom much is given much is expected, we shall not relent in making sure that our students live in a comfortable environment. That is my desire, and we have demanded that the VC should see for himself

EducationUniabuja President Demands For Better Welfare For Students In The FCT Varsity. by ICONgold(op): 9:47am On Apr 17, 2015
UniAbuja SUG President resumed serious Engagement with Management on Students Welfare

The Students Union Government of the Prestigious University of Abuja under the leadership of Comr. Olajengbesi Pelumi icon have opened a new serious engagement with the University management on her students welfare

In a long meeting with the University of Abuja management held at the Vice Chancellor's conference the S.U.G President demanded for more welfare attention for the Students of the University particularly students resident in the university hostels.

The SUG President appealed for an immediate intervention on series of welfare demands the union have consistently made on behalf the students. He appeal that it must all be addressed before students resumption.

The President who narrowly escape death in an auto crash recently posited that we don't have business as Students Leaders if we can not secure good welfare situation for our students.

In a speech at the beginning of the meeting; the President started by saying:

Sir, please accept the warm regards of the entire students of the prestigious University of Abuja brought here to you from the stable of the Students Union Government.

We found this meeting imperative to further the common interest of our students; which is also a major priority of this administration. We therefore appeal that the University management should consider the basic issues out of the numerous complains of the students over time and get it adequately addressed to succor the sufferings of our students ahead of the second semester resumption.

We have waited patiently to see sufficient actions of the University on some of these complain in which the students were promised in principle that all of these issues will be addressed during the holidays but we have only seen little.

It is on record that we have made several complaints regarding the poor state of our students’ social and academic welfare; we are beginning to exhaust our patience, diligence and understanding as we have a week left and we are not yet satisfied.

However, knowing sufficiently well that the University authority is working round the clock to meet up with its mandate; we appeal that the following should be quickly looked into:

Water Tanks/Reservoir: We like to bring to your notice that our students are unable to drink, cook and bath with good water because all the water reservoirs are terribly dirty and full of dangerous particles while some are old. This situation has exposed our students to terrible health hazards which can as well cumulative into sudden wide spread of epidemic. We appeal for the changing of all the old water tanks into new ones and perhaps the adequate washing of some of the fairly new ones.

Leaking Septic Tanks/Soak away
We have problems of leaking septic tanks that have made the affected areas stinky and unbearable for our students. While we have complained severally on this issue we are yet to get adequate attention to addressing this problem.

Adequate Refuse Disposal: We believe it is not safe for our students to live side by side with heaps of waste/refuse all around our campus particularly the girls’ hostel, mini campus. We appeal that the management should device an efficient means of disposing waste, as this situation is becoming more terrible than ever before. We also request that the heap of refuse should be cleared before our students resume that of the girls’ hostel.

Clearing of weeds/bushes in the hostel: The present state of our hostels particularly some units in the girls hostel mini campus is an eye saw. We have situations where weeds and bushes have grown to the building level in the hostel and there has not been any action on it despite several complains. We appeal that this should be addressed for the safety of our students.

Defects from last renovation: Despite series of complains which have also been channeled to the Needs Assessment Committee regarding the defects and challenges of the students arising from the last renovation in all of the hostels, such as blockage of floor drainage, flooding problems in the kitchens and bathrooms, plumbing problems, leaking taps, bad electricity sockets, lack of fans in some rooms and other sorry situation that has now turned to our students sordid tale of the state of our hostels. We appeal that all of these complains should be reviewed and addressed.

Installation of Speed Breakers/Bumps at the permanent site gate: We have on so many occasions appeal that the university authority should take up the matter of the speed bumps on the express road before the permanent site but it is worrisome to us that it appears that the matter does not occupy a critical place in the heart of the management. While we continue to express understanding on the challenges attached in getting this problem solved; we make bold to say that the students are getting frustrated by the silence of the university authority after several appeals and we might be left with no any other option than to device another means in speeding up the solution for the students problems.

Floating Students/Inter-departmental Transfer/Change of Course Issues: We has a union saddled with the responsibility of advancing the interest of our students; we are sad that about six hundred and thirteen students were unable to write the last semester exams as a result of problems ranging from interdepartmental transfer, change of course and several other similar challenges. While we accept that some of our students might have their fault in these situation; we believe that university should also communicate its rule properly to the operators of these rules at all levels to guide the students. We also demand that all of these issues should be rectified so that our students that are victim of the lapses in the system can begin to define their future.
EducationUniabuja Sug President Escaped Death by ICONgold(op): 11:15am On Apr 13, 2015
UNIABUJA SUG PRESIDENT ESCAPED DEATH

The students movement yesterday was saved from mourning as the President of University of Abuja Comr. Olajengbesi Pelumi, narrowly escaped death in a deadly auto crash along Lafia/Makurdi express way immediately after Daudu in a new Honda Pilot Jeep.
It took an hour effort from villagers to rescue the President and three others from the crash site. Eye witness account has it that the Jeep ran off the road on a very high speed after overtaking a tanker. it is believed that the tanker driver must have suddenly pressed his break, the president's car spinned and summarsuted off the road and went into the ditch. The attention of the villagers were drawn to the scene of the accident after a loud noise caused by the sound of the crashing car. The driver of the car, a student of Obafemi Awolowo University (name withheld) and a friend of the President of University of Abuja was said to have tried all his best to avert the accident but to no avail., the accident was said to have occured while the President was seated busy working on his phone beside the driver.
There were four persons all together in the car, and they were just miles away from their destination, Makurdi for a programme. The driver and two others were said to have sustained serious injury and were immediately rushed to Madonna Hospital in Makurdi, but they were said to have been rejected, they were immediately transferred to Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi where they are currently receiving treatment.
However the University Of Abuja SUG President came out of the Car without any injury. How the president managed to come out without any injury remains a great mystery to the villagers and that has aroused a controversial discussion topic around the metropolise because many eye witness couldn't believe it was ordinary. Our effort to reach the President at press time proved abortive as all calls and sms to his phone were neither picked nor returned, our call to his P.A phone confirmed the incident but could not tell us where about of the President at press time.

Very important to watch closely . Especially as it regards such issues as the failed Trade pact between europe and west Africa which a Jonathans presidency helped to stall. I don't think that buhari went to London to read some nonsense at Chatham house, I strongly believe that it was a decoy to fool the unsuspecting public. He went there to iron out some pacts that will eventually sell this countey short to the west in the months to come. He has to explain all the backhand/backroom deals with both local and foreign imperialists that helped his emergence. These deals and promises were all done to achieve power. They can't be in favour of the masses.
