New AAUASU executives sworn into office, promise better welfarism of students

The newly elected executives of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko Students Union (AAUASU), have been sworn in by the institution’s management. 

The inauguration ceremony took place at the institution’s Olusegun Obasanjo Multipurpose Hall (OBJ), with dignitaries in attendance.

The sworn-in executives were elected on 4 May 2023, with Adekanye Mayomi Adeboye, INEC, from the Department of Philosophy, emerging as the Union President.

At the inauguration, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olugbenga Ige, congratulated the Alale of Akungba, Oba Sunday Adeyeye, as the host community produced the first Students’ Union President.

Ige also appreciated the Dean of Students’ Affairs, Professor Olusegun Akanbi, Chairman of the Students’ Union Electoral Committee (SUEC), for the election’s success.

He urged the students to pay their school fees and registrations, saying the number of students who had paid their school fees is low, as the examination period is fast approaching.

The Vice-Chancellor further disclosed that the school management is about to tackle the issue of epileptic power supply in the school environment with solar power. 

Ige maintained that in some weeks, solar power will be live on the campus to ease the plight of the students on electricity.

In his valedictory speech, the outgoing President, Ogunsanmi Kolade, appreciated the school management, especially the Vice-Chancellor and the Dean of Student Affairs, for their fatherly role during his tenure.

Ogunsanmi further extended his appreciation to the Executive Council, Judicial and Representative Councils, as well as past leaders and all the students of the institution for the opportunity given to him to serve them.

He said the Students’ Union Government under his administration had impacted the students positively and set obvious records, despite the challenges they met and faced.

However, the newly inaugurated SU President, Adekanye Mayomi, commended the efforts of the school management and the past Union leaders for the wonderful work done in improving the students’ welfare.

He added that he would improve on the security, academic, and welfare of the students by meeting and dialogue with the management on cogent issues.

He further stated that the issues of inadequate shuttle buses on campus and epileptic power supply within the school environment would be adequately addressed by his administration.

“There would be zero tolerance for harassment of the students both inside and outside the university by indigenous,” he added.
