In her resignation letter on Monday, Divine said she and her team have failed the students who elected them into office, asking that the students should remain resolute, courageous and determined in their future bid.

Recall that the University of Benin recently increased her school fees with over 100 per cent for fresh students as Science and Non-science new intakes are expected to pay N190,000 and N170,00 respectively.
However, moments after her resignation letter hit the social space, the University management announced downward review of the school fees to N115,000 and N105,000 for Science and Non-Science students respectively; and N95,000 and N85,000 subsequently.
Earlier, there were concerns and agitations from students with many questioning the SUG perceived silence on the school fee saga. Although, the union had initially claimed ignorance of the development. They would later announce negotiations with the Management.
In her resignation letter, Miss Divine admonished the students to be resolute in electing future student leaders who will not betray their interests but represent them well in their various capacities.
