MATTERS ARISING: MEETING WITH LANDLORDS OF OFF-CAMPUS HOSTELS
The University management, together with representatives of the Student Union, met with the owners of off-campus hostels in the University host communities with the sole agenda of reinforcing the smooth alliance between the University and the owners in preparation for the return of students to town.
At the meeting, the representative of the Universities appealed to the association of house owners on three key issues that affect the welfare of the students:
1. No quit notice or illegal locking of hostels
Due to the reports that have been received of some hostels serving students a quit notice and denying them access to their rooms, we appealed to the Landlords to be understanding, considerate, and patient with students who were unavoidably forced to stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. 2-Months Payment Grace Period
We also appealed to the Landlords to grant students who decide to remain in their hostels upon resumption the grace of 60 days to clear their outstanding house rents. However, it was agreed at the meeting that students who decide to move out to another hostel must clear out their outstanding house rents before moving out.
3. 10% giveaway as palliative from outstanding bills
Another appeal was made to the Landlords to offer financial support to students in the form of COVID palliatives. It is understandable that these hostels are the source of income for these owners too, however, the long break that kept students out of their hostels was nobody's fault and both parties involved must be understanding to find a balance. We appealed to the Landlords to offer a 10%-off to students as a show of empathy and support.
While reacting to the requests of the University, the leadership of the Landlords association informed the University of their own plans, which already included some of the requests of the University, and that some owners are already implementing these policies in their hostels. However, the leadership of the association concluded on discussing the appeals of the University with other members and communicate their resolutions to the University.
We urge students to be peace-loving and law abiding when dealing with matters related to hostels and house rents. The University and the Student Union will continue to work and ensure that the welfare of students is not endangered.
While we await the resolutions of the Landlords, it is our hope that all the discussions at the meeting materializes in no time. We remain committed to our mission to rebrand the value system by always protecting the interests of our students.

UPDATE ON THE GLO CUSTOM DATA PLAN FOR UNILORIN STUDENTS
In line with the mandate of keeping smooth academic activities even as the University goes virtual, we wish to bring to the attention of all students that the following arrangements are in place to ease the transition to the new normal.
The university hotspots have been increased with additional 39 new spots and bandwidth strengthened. Also, a centre with 200 computers under the watch of COMSIT is to begin operations to assist students of all categories who, for one reason or the other, may not be online at the time of the lecture to download from the repository within 48 -72hrs of the lecture.
On the other hand, since Universities are to thread cautiously on crowd management, the opening of hostels will be delayed till 18th of January, 2021 when physical activities are expected to commence on campus as announced by FGN. The implications is that pending when students are eventually allowed to resume on campus, virtual learning and teaching will continue and students may be in need of data.
Consequently, arrangement has been made between Student Union and Globacom network under the watch of Student Affairs to privately assist students in getting personal data within the first week of virtual classes pending resumption on campus at discounted rate:
The rates are as follows:
0- 10GB @ #263.33 per GB
11- 20GB @ #250 per GB
21- 30GB @ #230 per GB
31- above @ #200 per GB
Validity= 30days
Students who are interested (optional) should fill the google form via this link. The offer is only for Glo users.

RE: UPDATE ON RESUMPTION OF ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES; CRITICAL TIMES CALL FOR CRITICAL DECISIONS.
Sequel to the revision of the academic calendar for the 2019/2020 academic session and the announcement of the date of commencement for the Virtual learning, officials of the Student Union together with Faculty Presidents had meet daily on campus to discuss the current situation and interacted with arms of the University management after receiving several crucial concerns and agitations from our members.
Esteemed Unilorites, these information are crucial and important as it supercedes all other informations on the subject listed below. Trying times are here as impelled by the Covid-19 and ASUU Strike. In furtherance of our dedication to the welfare of students, we compiled and tabled all received complaints to the management. However, a bird-eye look into the issues at the meeting revealed reasons behind the new development which are necessary for continuity of studies after a prolonged pause. The Virtual learning system is accepted globally and is being adopted as a sustainable mode of teaching and learning, and the University has shown her plans to ensure that we are part of this process in the commencement and period of academic activities.
Also, we have lodged complaints to the appropriate quarters on the complexity and stressful process of enrolling for the virtual learning, activation and reactivation of student email, reset of passwords, and all other general complaints we have received from students so far. The university COMSIT through the helpdesk communication platform would continue to make efforts to resolve all issues.
A Table Talk organised by the corporate affairs unit of the university, which featured the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Acad) held yesterday and will have the Director of COMSIT, Prof. Dupe Ademola-Popoola,* today January 7th, 10 am, on Unilorin FM 89.3 FM (or visit fm.unilorin.edu.ng to join live from anywhere in the world).
In addendum, the University is working on a solid partnership with GLO for a cheap and discounted custom data plan to reduce the cost of Internet access for students of the University of Ilorin. The details of this efforts shall be communicated to the general public as soon as they are finalized. The University is also working on a Resource Center with 200+ standby computers to help indigent students gain access to prerecorded lectures and other academics materials to aid their learning.
On a final note, we urge students not to panic about the enrollment process if they are experiencing any issues and reach out to the COMSIT Helpdesk via [email protected] for technical assistance. This release supersedes our previous release yesterday.

The outcome of our activities on campus yesterday birthed the Table Talk program, which we are organizing to feature the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Acad), Prof. Sylvia Malomo, and the Director of COMSIT, Prof. Dupe Ademola-Popoola, to facilitate a broader platform between the management and the students. The radio program is scheduled to come up on January 6-7th, 10 am daily, on Unilorin FM 89.3 FM (or visit fm.unilorin.edu.ng to join live from anywhere in the world).
In addendum, we are working with the University on a solid partnership with GLO for a cheap and discounted custom data plan to reduce the cost of Internet access for students of the University of Ilorin. The details of this efforts shall be communicated to the general public as soon as they are finalized. The University is also working on a Resource Center with 200+ standby computers to help indigent students gain access to prerecorded lectures and other academics materials to aid the learning.
On a final note, we urge students not to panic about the enrollment process if they are experiencing any issues and reach out to the COMSIT Helpdesk via [email protected] for technical assistance.

RE: UPDATE ON RESUMPTION OF ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES; CRITICAL TIMES CALL FOR CRITICAL DECISIONS.
Sequel to the revision of the academic calendar for the 2019/2020 academic session and the announcement of the date of commencement for the Virtual learning, officials of the Student Union together with Faculty Presidents met on campus to discuss the current situation and interact with arms of the University management after receiving several crucial concerns and agitations from our members.
Esteemed Unilorites, these are trying times as impelled by the Covid-19 and ASUU Strike. In furtherance of our dedication to the welfare of students, we compiled and tabled all received complaints to the management. However, a bird-eye look into the issues at the meeting revealed reasons behind the new development which are necessary for continuity of studies after a prolonged pause. Moreover, we have been assured that the virtual learning is only for the period of the COVID-19 lockdown announced by the Federal Government and normalcy will be restored as soon as there's a go-ahead for physical activities on campus.
Also, we have lodged complaints to the appropriate quarters on the complexity and stressful process of enrolling for the virtual learning, activation and reactivation of student email, reset of passwords, and all other general complaints we have received from students so far.

FG VS ASUU: THIS 'ROMANCE' MUST STOP!
It is now obvious that we have found ourselves in a country that wishes to develop without first prioritizing the education of her youths nor investing tangibly in their future. What is not so obvious is the reason the Buhari-Led Federal Government has decided to gamble with the future of the country by setting a new record for the longest ASUU strike ever; 8 months and still counting.
From our thoughts, the FG and ASUU seem to be deriving a secret pleasure from their unending 'indoor' and attention-seeking 'romance' meetings. This 'romance' must STOP!
The leadership of the University of Ilorin Student Union, in solidarity with other higher institution leaders across the country, is taking brave steps to reclaim the future of this country from these seemingly unbothered leaders of our country. We have engaged in series of productive consultations with other Union leaders and our next step is the Joint Press Conference to issue an ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria before we take drastic actions that will shake the roots of this country!
The Joint Press Conference is scheduled to hold by 9 am on Thursday, November 12, 2020, at the University of Ibadan Student Union Building. We can no longer fold our hands and let this FG VS ASUU 'romance' continue on a loop. We beseech all the greatest Nigerian youths to join this STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE!
