Mr. Speaker, SUG, UNN adds a Year

Everyday has someone somewhere in the world celebrating his birth and today is not an exception. However, what is exceptional is that today we remember the birth of a unique personality.
Gentle and calm in disposition yet commands crowds wherever he be found. Young and vibrant, he remains a man of the people who understands what it means to stand for what is right. He sits at the helm of affairs in the House of Representatives, Student Union Government, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Chapter. Without much noise, he coordinates happenings among his honourable colleagues so much you are tempted to call him the father of one big family.

Important Message from the Acting President, SUG, UNN

Great Nigerian Students..
We are fully aware that all ears are itching as to the news on the resumption date.
We plead that you disregard any news flying around now.
Many has been calling to find out, and nothing prevent us from giving a yes or no response.... But we wouldn't want to give a false hope.
We humbly do request that we exercise more patience for the two weeks given to elapse....and that will be on Tuesday....
We've been making our own verification and enquiry on this but no news will be released until the expiring date which is on Tuesday.

Students will be duly informed and notified if anything comes up.
"Watch out for the resumption date," our VC advised.
Just keep your engine warm, traffic light on yellow,"ready to go."
We solicit for our understanding and patience within this short period.
ALUTA CONTINUA ...
Thanks!

Important Announcement on the Mid-Semester Break

A meeting was held between officials of the Student Union Government of both campuses of the University of Nigeria and representatives of the university administration. There a number of issues were discussed and resolutions were made as concerns the welfare of students and the mid-semester break. Below is a communique made available to us after the meeting.
UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA
JOINT INTERACTIVE SESSION
BETWEEN UNN MANAGEMENT TEAM AND THE STUDENTS UNION GOVERNMENT (SUG) HELD ON MONDAY JUNE 8, 2015
COMMUNIQUE
Irked by the prevailing circumstances leading to the suspension of academic activities on the campuses of the University of Nigeria, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Benjamin, Chukwuma Ozumba, invited the Students Union Government (SUG) to an
interactive session.
In attendance were the Principal Officers of the University and other Management personnel.
Top on the agenda was:

The Total Woman by Comr. Nebo, Joy Chinaza

Just like there are standards of conduct to be met in order to call one's self a 'gentleman,' the same goes for a 'lady.' So, then, what are some signs that the woman in your life has matured to the point where she can be the equal half of a power couple?

1. A lady does not need you, but she wants you.

There is a quote I remember reading once that said

Press Release on the Demise of a UNN Student in a ghastly motor accident

Information and Public Relations Unit,
University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
June 03, 2015.

This is to confirm that the ghastly motor accident that occurred at the 9th Mile, Enugu (6pm yesterday) claimed the life of a 300 Level Veterinary Medicine student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She has been identified as

The Accident at Ninth Mile

That there was an accident at 9th Mile on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015 at about 5:45pm which involved a tanker and about two buses is no longer a breaking news. What is news is, however, that the figures being projected and tossed about by certain persons are baseless.
Representatives of the Student Union Government investigated the situation and found out that as at this afternoon (Wednesday, 3rd June, 2015), only three deaths have been recorded from the accident, as against the news by some blogs that 24 or more students died in the accident. Also, the representatives confirmed that only ONE of the deceased is a student of UNN (a female student whose full identity is yet to be ascertained).
The Information Officer, SUG, UNN also confirmed the casualties from the protest on Monday, June 1st, 2015. According to him, 5 students were injured by the driver who overran the protesters, and while some of them are being treated at the University's Medical Centre, others have been transfered. He further enjoined all students, friends and well-wishers of the university to remain law abiding even as academic activities remain suspended for the next two weeks.

While we mourn the dead and grieve with the friends and families of the deceased, it is important we plead with fellow Lions and Lionnesses, and bloggers to be careful enough to verify things for themselves before either believing or spreading any news, especially when it concerns human lives or has the tendency to incite people. A news as critical as the loss of life should be spread with caution. It is of no use unsettling people with some outrageous figures which will ultimately prove to be false.
Here are some pictures from the scene of the accident at 9th Mile, on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015

OCCUPY UNN DAY 1: How UNEC's Fire Spread to UNN

And finally the fire that started in UNEC reaches UNN. On the night of June 1st, 2015; the night after it was announced that students should vacate the hostels within 24 hours. Students went on a peaceful protest when the school generator was not switched on at the usual time. The protesters moved from Franco up school chanting "Off that Gen!" as they got to different staff quarters where generators supplied power.
The mob progressed to the female hostels up school and subsequently moved towards the Vice Chancellor's lodge with the same song. The message they had was, "If the students do not have power, then no staff should".
As they progressed, the protesters harrassed drivers plying the road, forcing them to put off the light from their cars. However, tragedy broke out as the students got close to the Vice Chancellor's lodge when a driver who had earlier been harrassed made a come-back, speeding through the mob without caution, knocking down about four (4) of the protesters who lost their arms and/or legs as a result of the accident. Unknown to the furious driver, who is also a student of the university, security men were with the protesters as they tried to quell they situation or keep it under control. One of the protesters said the security men tried reassuring them that the generator will be made available. He was immediately apprehended by the security men while the affected students were hurriedly taken to the University Medical Centre for treatment.
However, as the protesters dispersed, angry that their demands were not met and that the furious driver was not handed to them, the university community remains in total backout except for staff quarters where there are generators to supply power.
Also, mixed reactions have trailed the announcement of immediate vacation of students from the hostels within 24 hours. As some students see it as a good development owing to the fact that they have been praying to have a little time to rest from the tedious works in the school, others are complaining that the school authority cannot justify its actions in any way as the reasons given by the school authority (lack of power supply among others) were not enough to order students out of the hostels within 24 hours. Meanwhile, security has been beefed up at the Enugu Campus of the university as armed policemen are seen at the campus gate with their cars parked around the gate. This has also increased the fear of embarrassment in the student should they not leave the hostel before 6:00pm tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015.
We will, as much as possible, keep you posted as the events unfold.
