State University of Science and Technology’s Students Representative Council
has suspended eleven honorable members representing the School of Engineering
over alleged non-payment of the Council’s due.
In
a sitting headed by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Asekun Elijah, the Council had questioned
the eligibility of the 18 honorables representing the School of Engineering, calling
for the presentation of the payment receipt issued to the Honorables in the house.
With
only eight out of the accused honorables present at the sitting, the Council collected the payment receipts of the
available honorables which was tendered to the house by the spokesperson of the
accused honorables, Hon. Giwa Ajibola Daniel.
Following
the submission of the payment receipts, the house went for lengthy break as SRC
principal officers confirm the presented
receipts.
Several
minutes after, the sitting resumed with the Clerk of the house, Hon. Odugwua,
presenting the outcome of the verification.
According
to the Clerk, seven out of the eight receipts presented to the house were valid
while one was invalid.
Before
making his pronouncement, the speaker pointed out that less than 50 students
from school of Engineering paid for SUG due, while also emphasizing that only
seven out of the 18 honorable members representing the faculty were recognized.
“As
regards the School of Engineering as a faculty, they don’t have up to fifty
students who pay the Students Union Government due. The hardest thing to do is
when you are making judgement. I hereby suspend the eleven honorables without
receipts from School of Engineering in this house.” The speaker said.
Reacting
to the speaker’s pronouncement, the spokesperson for School of Engineering,
Hon. Giwa Daniel, vowed to present the payment receipt of the suspended
honorables at the next sitting.
While
charging the Students Representative Council to impeach him if he failed to
present the payment receipt of the suspended honorables, he, however, called
for an apology letter from the Students Representative Council to the School of
Engineering if, eventually, the payment receipts of the eleven honorables are
confirmed to be valid.
