Two years after its imposition, the Senate of the
University of Ibadan, Oyo State, has lifted the ban placed
on students’ union activities in the institution.
The decision to lift the ban was reached at the Senate’s
meeting of August 30, 2019 during which the Dean of
Students Affairs, Prof. I.A. Abiona , made a passionate
appeal for the lifting of the ban to allow for the conduct
of elections for the students’ body during the 2018/2019
session.
The institution’s Senate had on May 30, 2017 suspended
students’ union activities until further notice following a
protest over the delay in the issuance of digitised
identity cards. On the proposal to lift the suspension,
Abiona stated that 140 persons were tried in connection
with the protest by the students’ disciplinary committee
with some receiving sanctions while others were
acquitted.
According to him, the Student Affairs Division will
ensure that a purposeful leadership of students emerges
by raising the bar of eligibility, organisation of pre-
election workshop and post-election leadership retreat
for winners.
Abiona noted that most of the former union leaders
fingered in the protest had shown enough remorse and
indicated the desire to uphold the rules and regulations
and cooperate with the university’s administration.
