The President of the Student Union Government (SUG) of the University of Calabar (UNICAL), Blessing Alims has cleared the air on why she rolled out a list of 50 aides in her government.

The SUG President had a few days ago released names of 50 persons as aides. The list however, has been greeted with backlash and uproar both from the varsity community and beyond.

In a press release she signed and issued through her Press Secretary Cynthia Maduekwe, the president said the number is due to the over 20 faculties and 110 departments in the school as UNICAL is known as “a complex institution.”

She noted that the appointment ensures representation from each faculty and department, which is crucial for effective student mobilization and governance. This approach, she said, allows the Union to address the unique needs of each segment of the student population.

The first female SUG President of the institution further clears that the appointments are strictly voluntary and come with no financial compensation and are designed to foster career development, instilling a sense of duty and motivation in the appointees. Adding that, each aide underwent a rigorous screening process by the Senate Committee and took oath of office.

Blessing assured that “these appointments are well-considered and essential for our administration’s success. As we work, be rest assured of our commitment to sharing our progress with you.”

The release reads below:
