RE: COHS: SUSPENSION OF HOSTEL PAYMENTS
We want to openly state that the Student Affairs Unit has reiterated its commitment to the wellbeing of all students and, consequently dissociated itself from the knowledge of arbitrary hike hostel prices at the the COHS .
While interacting with the leadership of Student Union on the matter, the Dean of Students, Professor L. T. Ajibade declared that the Unit was not in the knowing of such decision, and therefore, is not part of the recent development at the COHS.
He mentioned that the Student Affairs Unit is a core part of the school management saddled with the responsibility of general care of the students of the better by far University, and the unit could not have supported a decision that can infringe on the responsibility of the Unit.
The Dean assured us that the SAU is looking keenly into the issue and shall communicate with the union and her members as soon as possible on positive note.
We hereby stand on our ground that all hostel payments (both school and private hostels) at the College of health sciences be suspended till further notice.
We also use this medium to appeal to the general public to disregard the information making rounds on social media that the University of Ilorin Student Union is not in good term with the management of the school. This is in respect to news emanating from some unscrupulous news agencies lacking in the true ethics of journalism and only basing their reports on hearsays and unfounded yet unresearched reports.
It is normal to have debate on some issues pertaining to the welfare of the students who gave us their mandate to represent them, but that does not in any way mean that the union is at 'loggerheads' with the school management.
The enviable stable academic atmosphere our school is enjoying is as a result of tackling early disagreements such as this.
We implore these fame-seeking media outlets to go tinker their trade somewhere else, if they cannot desist from for-profits journalism.
