An Open Letter to Federal Government by Great Ife Students' Union by Fynestboi: 7:14am On Jul 21, 2017 |
GREAT IFE STUDENTS’ UNION AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA OVER THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY The Students’ Union of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, hereby uses this medium to register our dissatisfaction over the ridiculous state of our nation which has been characterized by teeming youth unemployment, financial misappropriation, snail-like political progress, staggering economy, and massive looting of our commonwealth by the ruling class. The current situation of our country can be aptly likened to a clueless and terribly damaged one with no specific direction. It is very disheartening that a country blessed with viable human resources as well as boundless natural resources cannot boldly boast of a reasonable level of youth employment, 21st Century education system, world-class security network, present-day social amenities among other indices of economic development. It is unfortunate that the Buhari-led Federal Government administration has displayed a total disregard for educational needs of Nigerian children and youth by allocating less than 7% of the total budgetary allocation presented to the National Assembly contrary to 26% budgetary benchmark recommended by UNESCO. With this ridiculous budget allocated to the education sector, it is apparent that students will continue to receive classes under terrible and animalistic learning conditions; there will be further infrastructural decadence, unstable academic calendars (as paucity of fund will necessarily spur industrial actions from ASUU, ASUP and other stakeholders that are committed to righting the wrongs of the FG), etc. However, our nation is not only bedeviled by the impecunious amount of money allocated to the, arguably, most important sector of the economy. Another great cause for worry is the inactiveness and cluelessness of the Federal Government of Nigeria in tackling the menace of insecurity in the country which has inadvertently led to loss of countless lives, destruction of property and subsequent displacement of millions of Nigerians. The Fulani herdsmen’s killings and wanton destruction of farms of hardworking Nigerians (mostly Southerners) are on the increase without any effective measure being put in place by the Federal Government in curbing their excesses. We find this very disheartening and painful. This situation has further compounded the level of havoc wreaked on millions of Nigerians by the Boko Haram sect. Also, Great Ife Students’ Union condemns the tactical killing of the #NotTooYoungToRunBill by the National Assembly after the historic bill had scaled through the huddles of first and second readings. No excuse is logical or sufficient enough to justify the obnoxious and parochial decision of the National Assembly for preventing the bill from becoming a law. It is a well-orchestrated attempt by the ruling class to exclude the youths from participating actively in the governance of the country. By removing the age barrier which has inhibited countless industrious and purpose-driven Nigerian youths from standing the chance of being elected into political offices, the bill (if passed to law) would have encouraged fresh intellectual initiatives, coordination, and clearheaded policy formulation mechanism that will herald massive development in the country. Finally, we are using this platform to demand the presidency to make public the health condition of President Muhammadu Buhari following his rather protracted sojourn in the United Kingdom for a couple of months now. It is impossible for some individuals who do not sum up to 2% of the total population of the country to keep fooling us by perpetuating the masses in the dark as regards the facts surrounding the health of Mr. President. As promised by the APC that they would be open and accountable in all their dealings, we challenge them to tell Nigerians the truth about the actual health condition of Mr. President. OUR DEMANDS Signed: Okediji Simon (ZUMA) Public Relations Officer, Great Ife Students’ Union Boluwajaiye Adeoluwa (FYNESTBOI) Secretary General, Great Ife Students’ Union Oyekan Ibukun Edward (DR IBK) President, Great Ife Students’ Union 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Great Ife Students' Union had influenced national policies in the past and can still do it again. If you don't know, the Ibadan-Ife expressway was dualized due to agitation of ever-conscious Great Ife Students. However, I doubt if the current corps of leadership the union is parading can take that bold step. All the same, the open letter is a welcome development.

May be with this, the youths in this country can change the doom,let each school's student union do something like this, post it every where not just on nairaland but even on daily papers. Lets see how far it will go but i remember some schools have no student government body but just Union. If youths can team together and channel their strength in the right direction the country could be a honey dam for all to lick. |

when will someone write an open letter to our judiciary that sentenced a poor man for stealing #3425 and keep on adjourning the case of huge embezzlement... also... when are we going to see a unique write up to our legislative members... who keep on milking on tax payers money and do nothing but show of shame... when will someone write a golden nugget to correct malicious behaviour of our Governors who keep on embezzling money and failed to pay salaries despite series of tranche bail out fund which in anyway doesn't stop the monthly federal government allocation plus IGR.. let do something. |
