The Leadership of the Union led by Faji Tobiloba, yesterday, paid a courtesy visit on the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Wahab Olasupo Egbewole (SAN).
The Executives, Senate Council Principal Officers, the Dean, Student Affairs Unit and other Officers of the Unit were warmly received by the Vice Chancellor, who also congratulated the Development-Oriented Administration on the occasion of the just concluded, successful inauguration of the Executives.
The Union President, Comrade Faji on behalf of all Modern Unilorites congratulated the Vice Chancellor on his formal assumption of office while assuring him of the Union's cooperation and support.
Comrade Faji also raised some critical issues with the Vice Chancellor. These included hostel accommodation, security, health care services and transportation. Comrade Faji also reiterated the effects of these issues on the academic excellence of all Modern Unilorites.
Speaking on transportation, Faji lamented on the poor transportation system which has been in existence long before now and how it affects the academics of students. With respect to hostel accommodation, Faji explained the need to have more hostels on campuses in order to accommodate more students. This is also necessary in order to reduce the population of students off-campus and reduce security challenges faced by the students that are residing off-campus. Furthermore, the issue of health care services was discussed and the major concern was the provision of more health personnels which will enhance better health care delivery.
The Vice Chancellor in his remarks acknowledged these issues and its effects on students. He explained that the school management hitherto had already identified these issues. He also hinted on some interventions/measures that are already being put in place to address these concerns. He also assurred the Union of the support of his administration.
Modern Unilorites, be rest assured that the Development-Oriented Administration will work hand in hand with the school management to ensure that these issues are well looked into. We remain steadfast in our commitment to be development-oriented.
