The first female President of the Student Union Government, University of Calabar, Blessing Alims, has defended her decision to appoint 50 individuals as aides, saying it was necessary for effective governance and representation of the over 42,000 students in the institution.
Alims, who was recently elected as the SUG President, had announced the appointment of the aides in a viral letter dated August 1, 2024.
In a statement signed by her Press Secretary, Madueke Chinenye, Alims explained that the appointment of aides was crucial for effective student mobilization and governance.
“The Students’ Union Government is tasked with ensuring the welfare and progress of our entire university community. Just as a single tree does not make a forest, effective governance for a student body of over 42,000 requires a collaborative effort,” she said.
Alims noted that the appointments were strictly voluntary and came with no financial compensation. “They are designed to foster career development, instilling a sense of duty and motivation in the appointees.
