*REPORT OF SU MEETING WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF KWASU ON THE PROPOSED PROGRAM NEEDS ADDED FEE*


5th September, 2020


Yesterday, The Students’ Union met with the committee of Deans to discuss the proposed program needs fee. The chairman of the committee, Prof. Hamzat discussed the purpose of proposing the new fee. He explained that it will be designated towards enhancing quality learning in various departments. He continued that the fee will be charged based on the research carried out on the needs of various departments. The fee, of which the highest is N50,000 and the lowest is N25,000 varies from department to department. 


After listening to the analysis of the chairman of the committee, the Students’ Union President, Com. Kozeem Olaitan Hanafy expresses the dissatisfaction of the students and the unexpentancy of this proposed fee. He said that the students are expecting reduction in the school fee not that new fee will be proposed/introduced by the management. He instantly rejected the proposed new fee and ask that the committee should allow the students representatives to hold a meeting among themselves before anything can be said about the new fee. 


After the meeting among the Students Representatives headed by the Students’ Union President, the Students’ Union demanded that the Vice Chancellor must be present before they can present their resolutions to the committee. this is because since the arrival of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mohammad Akanbi SAN, the Students' Union has been actively involved in the decision making of the university and a pointer to the fact that there is a strong working relationship between the management and the students. The SU believes that because of his leadership qualities and charisma, the university will be moved to a greater height. Hence his presence is needed in the meeting because the proposed fee caught the students off guard. 


After the arrival of the Vice Chancellor, the Students’ Union President speak on behalf of the entire students that the resolution reached among the Students’ Representatives is that “Despite how good the plan is, the time is not right for the management to introduce new fee. Hence, The Students’ Union stand is that this new fee should not be introduced nor added to the payments for the 2020/2021 session. Therefore, the SU request for total cancellation of the fee”


The Vice Chancellor in his response explained why it’s necessary to introduce the new fee. He pleaded that the Students’ Representatives should understand why they’re introducing this fee. The VC hence proposed that instead of total cancellation of the proposed fee requested by the Students’ Union, they should do it in such a way that “New intakes will pay 75% of the proposed fee whilst Returning Students will pay 25% of the fee”


In response to this, one of the Students Union representatives insisted that if the fee is going to be introduced, there should be 50% reduction and it should not start from the 2020/2021 session because of the disastrous situation of the country’s economy which in turn has affected parents and guardians of the students. The SU President noted that the number of students that defer admission increases every year because average parents cannot afford to pay KWASU School Fees. Therefore, it will be disastrous to add or introduce new fee. 


The meeting ended without both parties reaching conclusions. The Students’ Union however urge the students to kindly disregard any fake information that the school has added a new fee to the portal. There is nothing of such. The good interest of all students remain the utmost priority of the Students’ Union and this shall never be compromised. Students should be rest assured that the Students’ Union will always defend and fight for the interests of the students. 


The meeting will continue in two weeks time as no decision has been reached yet. 


Thank you


Signed 


Kozeem Olaitan Hanafy,

President,

POWER SHIFT TO KWARA NORTH 2027: THE CASE FOR MORO (EDU/MORO/PATIGI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY)

 POWER SHIFT TO KWARA NORTH 2027: THE CASE FOR MORO (EDU/MORO/PATIGI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY) The call for power shift to Kwara North in 2027 is not just politics—it is a matter of justice, equity, and fairness. Since the return of democracy in 1999, political power in Kwara State has been unevenly distributed. Kwara Central has dominated governance for decades, while Kwara South has had its opportunity.  However, Kwara North continues to demand its rightful place in the leadership structure. Within Kwara North itself, the same imbalance exists. In the Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency, the House of Representatives seat has rotated only between Edu and Patigi for nearly 28 years, leaving Moro Local Government completely excluded. This long-standing exclusion makes the demand for Moro’s inclusion not only reasonable—but necessary. Why Moro Must Be Considered in 2027 Equity and Justice: Moro is the only local government in the constituency that has never produced a House of Repr...

A Father Cannot Be Enslaved While the Son Chooses His Path.

 *A Father Cannot Be Enslaved While the Son Chooses His Path* 30th April, 2026 By: JEGEDE ABDULAZEEZ  It is both surprising and disappointing that some elements within the Moro PDP have chosen to drag my father into matters that concern my personal political decisions. Let me state this clearly, a father cannot be enslaved while the son chooses his own path. Political affiliation is a matter of individual conviction, not family bondage. For the better clarification, my father is not a politician but an artisan (musician) who focuses on his craft and personal livelihood. Attempts to label or pressure him politically are unfair, unnecessary, and completely misplaced. Despite of not been a politician, he has dedicated over a decade of his life working tirelessly for the party, contributing his time, energy, and loyalty. Yet, it is evident to all that his sacrifices have not translated into any meaningful or tangible benefit rather than 50K for 11 family men. As for me, I have als...
