New RSUST’s SUG Gets Legislative, Judicial Arms
For the first time in over
seven years, the Students Union Government (SUG) of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST) now has legislative and judicial arms in addition to the existing executive arm.
Chairman of the election planning committee of the just concluded SUG election, Dr Isaac Zeb-Obipi stated this recently while presenting the committee’s report to the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Blessing Didia.
Dr Zeb-Obipi, who is also the Dean, Student Affairs of the university, explained that resuscitating the legislative and judicial arms of the students government was in accordance with the mandate of the Vice Chancellor.
According to him, “the VC gave the committee a mandate to uphold the interest of the students, and this the committee had fulfilled.
The two arms of government are “students’ Representative Council” and ‘Students’ Judicial Council; both of which, he said, have been put in place for effective students representation in the 2016/2017 academic session”.
Speaking at the occasion, the VC charged the newly elected SUG to be prepared “to make sacrifice for their fellow students in the course of your one year service in office”.
“Students leadership provides the platform for few students to lead their fellow students with huge price to pay, sometimes at the expense of their studies, the VC said.
The occasion, which also witnessed the inauguration of the new SUG executive, saw the VC appreciate the electoral committee for conducting a free, fair and credible election through electronic voting system.
In his acceptance speech the new SUG President, Comrade Alali Daniel Daminabo assured that he will fulfil his campaign promises.
This, he says, is that “students will feel the impact of unionism with the reintroduction of a valve system based on leadership, sacrifice and selfless service”.
Other members of the executive council are Patience Spender Sunday, Vice President, Confidence Atuegbu, Secretary-General, Victor O. Elemchukwu, Assistant Secretary-General; Promise Osigwe Financial Secretary.
Also elected are Adokiye C. Tamunosikima (Director of Social), Favour Nubeabu Ndi (Welfare Secretary), Idamlebhonoani Harry Edoghotu, Public Relations Officer, Godgift Celestine Nwogu, (DOS) and ThankGod Enyi Harold (Transport and Equipment Secretary).
In a goodwill message, the State Commissioner for Information, Dr Austin Tam-George charged the new executive to be team players and work for the welfare of the entire students.
The commissioner, who was represented by the Director of Public Enlightenment in the Ministry of Information and Communications, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, congratulated the VC for introducing the electronic voting system that ensured a conclusive election.
Also speaking, the outgone SUG President, Faith Nna Barigboto, expressed gratitude to God for the success her administration recorded and charged the new SUG executive to exceed the achievements of her administration.
Also in attendance at the occasion were principal officers of the University, Deans of Faculties, Directors of Institutes and Centres, Staff and Students of the University.
