As the curtain gradually comes down on the Ibikunle/Olori led Student’s Union administration in Obafemi Awolowo University, the Union’s leadership thought it necessary to conduct a press tour on the projects embarked upon by right from the start of their administration. In light of this,leadership of the Union called upon various press outfits on campus to see for themselves, firsthand their various achievements and the proposed ones already on-going.
The Secretary General of the Union, Shittu Ibrahim was also quick to point out some misconceptions about funds by stating emphatically:
“There is nothing like N18 million anywhere in the budget we made”
During the tour, the press bodies were able to take note of the following developments:
- The purchase of two buses (“Jet 2” and “Jet 3” of which “Jet 2” is yet to arrive.
- The purchase of DSTV for the SUB TV room.
- Purchase of an additional television to the SUB.
- Facelift of the SUB Conference room.
- The construction of pedestrian bridges between Akintola & Fajuyi Halls and between Fajuyi & Awolowo Hall (which are yet to be completed).
- Bore holes in Angola and Mozambique Halls.
Other proposed projects included:
- A 1,532 bedspace mixed students’ hall of residence (the point of this is however that the current administration wants to start the project for subsequent administrations to continue and complete)
- An OAU App in the mould of Facebook and LinkedIn is also been worked on and the developer confirmed that it was at about 95% completion.
It is also exigent to note that in the analysis of the funds generated and expended, the leadership were not exact on their expenditure, which led to the call by the pressmen that the Union leadership should come out with a comprehensive financial statement this new week.
