Consequent upon the swearing in of the executives of the Students’ Union during the holiday, the Students’ Representatives’ Assembly of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), had its inaugural meeting for the 2015 parliamentary year to officially kick-start the activities of the house for the 2014/2015 session.
Speaking at the event, the president of the union, Olajumoke Olawale, gave a report of the state of the union, where he spoke on the giant strides of the union since he assumed office.
“Hostels off-campus now have regular power supply, after we fought tooth and nail to make this a reality. This, among others, is one of our achievements since we were sworn into office.”
He also gave a report of properties handed over to him, which he noted are all in good condition. Placing the tag ‘Team Good Works’ on his tenure, he noted that his team members have been incredible.
Another issue raised at the floor of the House bordered on the welfare of the students, such as transportation, which has generated a lot of complaints from students in recent times. And the House constituted a committee to look into it.
The judiciary arm of the union was also supposed to be constituted at the meeting, as the executives presented the nomination list, but the House postponed its ratification till the next sitting.
