365 DAYS OF UNSHAKABLE DETERMINATION! - EMINENT

With each passing day, memories are made, mistakes are made, lessons are learnt and victories are celebrated. It is on this note I humbly begin my short Epistle in commemoration of the one year anniversary of Determination Unshakable Team.

It was God who planted this administration, and without him we couldn't have done anything spectacular not to mention celebrating a whole 365days of piloting the affairs of the students Union. We thank God for giving us the strength to shoulder the tasking call that comes with representing the interest of the majority.

In the same vein, I would like to thank the vice chancellor and the whole administrative chain for their unwavering support and valued oriented leadership that has been the main strength of this administration for the past 365days. I will equally extend the hands of thank you to the students affairs unit for the pivotal role they have played in assisting us to make judicious use of the opportunity given to us by the students.

To the entire students of the better by far university, I want to heap special praises on you for the love, care, constructive criticism, support and prayers you have shown to this administration since inception. The love is overwhelming and we couldn't have asked more as your representative, we are really grateful to you for entrusting us with your mandate to be your voice.

It's been 365days and everything we have achieved thus far as a union are as a result of the personal sacrifices made by everybody to make sure we are part of the revolution and the story that will be read by tomorrow's people as history. However, we are not perfect and we can't achieve perfection in the face of different ideologies and belief, but somehow we have been able to tolerate ourselves and live together with our different imperfections. 

My dearest colleague, it will be pertinent to note that we came at a time when high expectations  to deliver was very mountainous, it was indeed a season to deliver and serve the interest of the students in every area. We were able to wrap our hands around what the students want and what we can actually offer and to this end we merged it into a collaborative work for maximum result. To cut the long story short, we gave the Union a human face through effective communication and open door policy that made us closer to the students and attend to all questions.

Below are part of what we were able to achieve collectively as a Union

1. The students Union press conference
2. The students Union/UCJ fresher oratory contest with the introduction of one day President
3. The students Union health week
4. Distribution of outstanding PC tablets for the 2015/2016 academic session.
5. The ultra cinema
6. The UNILORIN league which is also first of its kind
7. The explosive bonfire night to welcome our freshmen to the better by far university.
8. The presidential tweet chat
9. The distribution of PC tablets to the 2016/2017 academic session and also their stater's pack.
10. The determination unshakable kerosene depot
11. Students Union intervention buses
12. Leadership summit
13. The proposal for a new school park
14. Online registration for library and a whole lots of programs that added substance to the students.
15.Commencement of relaxation center at the College of Health Sciences

We have been able to dialogue with the school authority on important issues that affect our students and to a large extent we have recorded some important victories in that regards. We couldn't have done this individually, but the collective effort we added made the significant difference.

The administration is gradually reaching the peak as the students have spoken again with their vote and elected new crops of leaders that will take over the mantle of leadership for another academic calendar year. It is on this note we salute the integrity of the students for taking interest in who leads them, for not folding their aims and watch mediocrity take over. We are happy that mass participation in politics is becoming a reality. We urge the newly elected executives to make judicious use of the ample opportunity given to them to serve. I beseech you to see it as a clarion call to service.

Once again the determination unshakable team is grateful for the love and support she enjoyed from the students! We know it's not a goodbye but see you again.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA
GOD BLESS ILORIN
GOD BLESS UNILORIN
GOD BLESS THE STUDENTS
LONG LIVE THE STUDENTS UNION.
