The Students Representative Council (SRC) has given the Students Union President, Aweda Bolaji, a day Ultimatum to call for a Congress.
Recall that UCJUI had reported that in line with the Constitution, over 250 signatories of students were submitted to the Students Union President but the Congress could not hold due to the short notice and verification of signatories required, according to him.
However, in response to the petition sent to the SRC and also made available to UCJUI, the House has now directed the President to call for a Congress by Friday, 2nd August to avoid the breach of Article III(2) of the SU Constitution.
“The Council hereby gives the President of the University of Ibadan Students’ Union a three days ultimatum, which will lapse on Friday, 2nd August 2024, to convene the Congress upon verification of the signatures to avoid the breach of “Congress shall be summoned by the Chairman on the approval of the Council. The President, on the receipt of 250 signatories of the students, shall direct the General Secretary to summon the Congress.” – Article XIII(2), University of Ibadan Students’ Union Constitution,” the response read in part.
