UNILAG Reinstates Student Union Government After 10-Year Suspension

The University of Lagos has officially lifted the decade-long suspension of its Student Union Government, ending the absence of formal student leadership on campus. The ban was imposed amid past crises over protests, union conflicts, and administrative concerns. Students and stakeholders had repeatedly called for the union’s return to secure proper representation of student interests. At a formal inauguration, Bolaji Akinpelu was sworn in as SUG President alongside other elected executives. University officials stressed that this move underscores a renewed commitment to inclusive governance, transparency, and constructive student engagement.

I agree they should establish transparent dialogue, but I'm doubtful that alone will prevent power struggles.

Lifting the ban looks promising, but I dey think the same union conflicts might flare up again without real reforms.

Sure, bringing back the student government is a start, but students must hold leaders accountable, not just celebrate reinstatement.
