OAU Students' Union on the Verge of Restoration

The students union transition committee (SUTC) has been working earnestly with the university management to see the timely restoration of a virile, responsible and responsive students’ union.

The biggest question and fear of great Ife students now is that can they have an INDEPENDENT and RELIABLE Students' Union Government as of old?

They have seen SUG of other schools mutilated by the school management when proscribed only to enable them to dictate to the newly elected leaders. 

I hope the DSA of UNILAG will follow the same process because like ASUU fighting for lecturers, we Akokites also need a unanimous voice 'SUG'
