KOROPE TRANSPORTATION FARE; MATTERS ARISING

Firstly, we sincerely apologize to all students for the situation at the park yesterday evening, after which the Korope Transporters refused to convey our members out of school to their various destinations. The actions of the Korope Transporter was simply their reaction to the stand of the Student Union, which was simply to protect our members from unnecessary exploitation.

It is important to remember that the Korope had initially requested for a 100% increment on their fare and the Student Union refused instantly. However, negotiation was initiated, and the outcome was pegged at #50 from PS to Sanrab and #60 for bus stops after Sanrab, which was pended for possible implementation.

Prestigious Unilorites, the protest of the Korope Transporters yesterday morning left us with no option, if we don't want to heap avoidable transportation stress on students and disturb academic activities on campus, than to workout the implementation of the initial #60/#50 agreement; which we did.

But however, the Korope Transporters, after seeing the situation of the park yesterday evening, went haywire and bent on exploiting our students by insisting that all bus stops from PS is #60, which was never discussed on the negotiation table. This inconsiderate decision led to the vehement refusal of the Union to compromise, which was why no Korope was allowed to operate, and we must thank the members of the Union for their show of solidarity yesterday.

In conclusion, the Union was in talks with the leadership of the Korope Transporters yesterday and the #50 From PS-Sanrab/#60 to bus stops after Sanrab fare has been discussed and agreed on. There is going to be a meeting between the Student Union and the Leadership of the Korope this morning to clearly highlight the terms of the agreement and to further state our conditions!

We implore our members to bear with us on this development. Moreover, the School-owned buses will be available to convey students from Terminus to School and vice versa at #30 only. Our members should also note that the Union is not folding hands at the moment, as we are working on possible alternatives to our present means of transportation.

We beseech the better by far students to be peace-loving, calm, and strong, as we embark on this journey to rebrand the value system together.

POSTPONEMENT OF HOSTEL BALLOTING

This is to inform our prestigious members that the hostel allocation formally slated to hold today has been postponed to 12pm on Friday, 1st of November, 2019.

This change in plans was largely due to the complaints we received from our members concerning course registrations and school fees payment, and the postponement was considered in order to give more students the chance to participate in the online balloting.

We implore all interested students to utilize this 48 hours extension to do all the necessary registrations and login to their portal on the new date to book a bedspace for themselves.

Also, students who paid via the 'pay without course registration' option should endeavor to submit their details and evidence of payment to the General Secretary at the Student Union Building on or before Thursday, 31st October, so that their payment can be manually activated.

ADJUSTMENT ON KOROPE TRANSPORTATION FARE

Scarcity of vehicles, which was largely caused by the withdrawal of some Korope Drivers from our campus, was the biggest reason behind the transportation challenges experienced last session.

After series of negotiation with the Korope Drivers (whose initial proposal was a 100% increment (I.e ₦100 fare)) on campus and having reasoned with the impact of inflation in recent years, we have met and resolved for a slight adjustment in the price of Korope from PS to Terminus, to attract more buses and alleviate the hydra-headed transportation problem on campus.

We negotiated the proposed ₦100 fare from Terminus - school park to a ₦10 increment for bus stops beyond Sanrab and no increment for PS - Sanrab. This simply means that PS - Sanrab/Terminus is now ₦60 , while PS - Oke-Odo - Sanrab remains at ₦50 .

While we understand the financial burden this will have on students, we appeal to our esteemed members to consider this new development, putting in mind the importance of the Korope Drivers on transportation on our campus. The association has also added 20 new buses to the fleet already on ground in order to continue rendering quality services to the better by far students.

The new price is to take effect from Monday, 14th October 2019. However, we urge the student populace to vehemently resist any form of extortion beyond these agreed prices and bus stops. Any inappropriate behavior or acts of extortion should be reported to any official of the Student Union.

Please be rest assured that we remain devoted to advancing the welfare of our students, and we are passionate about the ease of transportation of every Unilorites.

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.

COHS: SUSPENSION OF HOSTEL PAYMENTS

We are aware of the recent development concerning prices of hostels, which we considered too exorbitant for our students, and there has not been any acceptable justification for arriving at the prices. It is on this note that we are asking all students of the College of Health Sciences to SUSPEND ALL PAYMENT FOR HOSTEL!

We want to reiterate our commitment to advancing the welfare of our students, and standing our ground in times of unnecessary hostel fee increment is a core part of our plans. We want to assure these students that we are not in any way satisfied with the decision and we have sprung to action and we call for the suspension of all payments until they hear from us again.

Moreover, those who have paid should be rest assured that there money is in safe hands, and any eventual change in the prices would be effected on their payments too.

We implore our students to be peaceful and calm as we are already championing the struggle to attain justice.
