The Students' Union Students' Representative Council (SRC) sitting held on Sunday, May 11, at Ajose Lecture theatre centred on ratifying the hall committees and nominating and ratifying members for the select committee, transport committee, security committee, and judicial committee.

As previously reported by the Icons Organization, since the inauguration of the current administration of the Great Ife Students' Union, the Transport Management Committee (TMC), along with the Security Committee and other relevant committees, had not been ratified, even though a semester had passed and the second semester had begun. Oladepo Oladele, the Speaker of the SRC, remarked that the meeting on May 11 was their first business session.


Before ratifying the committees, it was clarified that the interim security committee was operating under collaborative oversight from its volunteer members, as no single Acting Chief Security Officer (CSO) had been formally appointed. This interim model was adopted to ensure continuity in service delivery while awaiting full ratification, which will include formal leadership appointments. Nevertheless, the interim security committee is functioning as a team, with advisory support from both the CEC and SRC leadership.

The elected members of the hall committee were ratified. Ariyo Isaac Ojukotimi serves as the chairman of the hall committee, while Adesina Esther, the hall secretary of Alumni Hall of Residence, holds the position of secretary. The Inter-Hall Welfare Committee is chaired by Awoniyi Opeyemi, with Ikechukwu Precious as the secretary. Other members of this committee include Oladeyo Hawwau, Elisabeth Adefisoye, and Ojo Precious Aridunnu. Additionally, the Inter-Hall Security Committee is chaired by Osudele Precious, with Bakare Victor serving as the secretary. Other members of this committee are Tijani Oyindamola, Akinola John, and Owoeyo Peace.

Furthermore, 11 members were nominated and ratified for the Judicial commission. These individuals include Favour Adeago, Olasupo Taofeekat (Clerk), Justice Lawrence (Registrar), comrade Adebayo, Michael Abayomi, Ajiboye Jeremiah Adelunle, Akeem Azeez, Oladejo Favour, Hon. Oreoluwa Olamide, Shoyonbo Oluwabukunmi and Babalotan Ifeoluwa and Adebayo Hammed.

The Select Committee has been ratified, with the following members: Shodamola Ademola (Chairman), Ogunleye Adelani (Secretary), Sodiq Ajao (Public Relations Officer), Hon. Adeleye, Hon. Ajulo, Hon. Olakunle, Hon. Anifa, Hon. Ayonimofe, and Hon. Olujuyigbe Jeremiah, among others. The Select Committee has been tasked with reporting back to the House by Tuesday at the latest, to ensure the budgets for various committees, including the Press Committee and the Academic Committee, are ratified.

For the Transport Management Committee, seven members have been nominated and ratified: Fatoyinbo Azeez (Chairman), Adewoyin Feranmi (General Secretary), Akindele Oluwapelumi (Public Relations Officer), Olateru Olagbegi, Oluwasegun Glory, Adebisi Adeyinka, and Ajetomobi Praise.
T.M.C Members 

The last committee to be ratified was the Security Committee. Fourteen volunteers who have been fulfilling their responsibilities were acknowledged. They include: AbdulRoheem Arogundade (Chief Security Officer), Oyediran Uthman (General secretary), Awonuga Adegboyega Idris, Timothy Festus, Adelumo Festus, Olayinka Tabitha, Mustapha Shindara (Financial Secretary), Olasupo Akinola, Amosun Opeyemi (PRO), Doherty Olayiwola (Deputy Chief Security Officer 2) Shuaib Musab (Deputy Chief Security Officer 1), and Sanyaolu Omotayo. 

Numerous deliberations and arguments arose regarding significant issues concerning the Security Council, such as the sexual harassment allegation involving a volunteer from the committee and an incident in which one of the volunteers allegedly assaulted someone in Angola, among other matters. 

After extensive discussions, thirteen out of the fourteen volunteers were ratified, while Sanyaolu Omotayo's case of alleged assault and departmental level impeachment claims has already been referred to the Judicial Committee. The committee's verdict will determine whether he remains a member of the Security Committee.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM. Faculties were paired and assigned topics: the Faculty of Administration and Science had the topic "Corrupt Democracies are Preferable to Dictatorships"; the Faculty of Agriculture and Dentistry debated on the topic "Subsidy is a Necessary Compromise of the Government, and Should be Implemented in Areas of Essential Public Domains"; the Faculty of Arts and Technology had the topic "Civil Disobedience is a Moral Wea...

By The Icons Organization and Indy Press  For Deborah, a 100-level student and resident of Obafemi Awolowo Hall of residence, University of Ibadan, staying in her hall of residence was a choice she made because she was in her first year of study. She believed this choice was the safest way to get familiar with the school and its environment. Posi, another student, on the other hand, resides in a school hostel due to proximity. “I stay in Obafemi Awolowo Hall of Residence because of its proximity to classes; the fact that it is cheaper, it is less stressful than house hunting, and much safer than staying outside school,” Posi explained.  Posi's reason for staying in Obafemi Awolowo Hall is the same as that of many students who find themselves in public hostels — it is often cheaper and closer to school. This goes to show just how important hostel accommodation is for students in any university, as it affects both their academics and overall wellbeing.  Unfortun...
