In what will go down in history as one of its kind, the Students Representative Council (SRC) has set a record of briefing media houses ahead of its inauguration ceremony during a Press Conference held yesterday at the School of Environmental Studies Lecture Hall.

The Press Conference, which was initially slated to hold at the School Agriculture’s 500-Seaters auditorium, saw a change of venue on account of organizers inability to secure the hall before the commencement of the media briefing.

Prior to the event, a Press Release was issued to different media outlets which include Oriwu Sun Newspaper, The Impact Newspaper, Tungba FM, Laspotech FM, IKD FM, and LASUSTECH’s Directorate of Information and Public Relations.

On his part, the Majority Leader of the Council, Hon. Sodiq, said students and youths engagement in politics will reduce the trend of having the older generation of politicians in power.

“It is however imminent and exigent for students and youths to wake up and realize that if the older Nigerians are the only ones participating in politics, they would only continue to recruit fellow old people because of the African belief that the young cannot speak over the old.” He revealed.
