The leadership of The Great Ife Student Union has called for a congress after the emergency meeting of stakeholders in response to increase in Tuition Fee. The increment in the school fees was announced after the senate meeting on Tuesday 12th September, 2023. The expected news still left a lot of students amazed.
The emergency stakeholders meeting which was held at SUB conference room on Wednesday 13th September, 2023 had 80 stakeholders in attendance.
The Stakeholders in attendance includes the Central Executive Council, the leadership of the SRC, Hall Chairpersons, Faculty presidents and Speakers, Departmental Presidents and Speakers, Presidents of Indigenous Associations, Ameer of MSSN, and the ACJ President.
After the Meeting, the Leadership of the Union communicated the key resolutions of the Meeting to the Union in a Press release.
The meeting resolved that:
1. There should be a total reversal of the approved increment by the school management.
2. On no account should any student pay the proposed school charges even if the payment portal is activated.
3. A X (Twitter) Space should hold tonight to get further opinions from union members. The space will hold by 9pm.
4. The meeting also agreed that a physical congress should be called and should hold tomorrow.
The Leadership of the Student Union therefore called for an emergency Congress in accordance to the sacrosanct Constitution to discuss the way forward on the issue of tuition fee.
