It is with great honour that I write Your
Excellency, on behalf of the entire students of
the University of Ilorin, to request for an
interactive session with the students during
your visit to the university’s 31st Convocation
and 40th anniversary ceremonies slated for
October, 2015.


It is on record that all through the 16-year rule
of the PDP-led Federal Government, only
former President Olusegun Obasanjo visited
the university on Friday, May 25, 2007, to
inaugurate the then newly-built Senate
Building and University Auditorium. At no
other time did any president deem it fit to visit
the university, let alone hold talks with the
students.


The indication that Your Excellency will visit
the university is particularly heart-warming
but the students want to meet their beloved
president. It saddens our hearts that we are
not aware that the President has scheduled
meeting the most peaceful students in Nigeria
as part activities lined up for the visit. Our
students are so sad and stressed by this and
the psychological trauma will increase with
time except the president graciously accepts
to meet them.


The cooperation of our students’ body has
made the university and the nation proud on
several occasions as evident in the stability of
its system, impressive ranking inthe comity of
institutions and, amongst others. This
accounts chiefly for why our university is one
of the most sought-after institutions in the
country by admission seekers.


I humbly appeal to Your Excellency to duly
consider our request. All the students will be
eagerly awaiting your visit with baited breath.
A session will them will be the icing on the
cake. We are ready and willing to listen and
engage in constructive dialogue with the
president of our country. This is the change
we yearn for and this is the change we
deserve.


Idris is Students’ Union
(SU) President, UNILORIN.
