VAM News Update
Drama as no fewer than 30 aides had been appointed by Comrade Abasifreke Benson, the President of the Students’ Union at Akwa Ibom State University.
In a letter he signed, the student leader stated that the appointments became inevitable to ensure his administration’s effective and smooth running.
The appointments include but are not limited to the Chief of Staff, Chief Press Secretary, Chief Security Officer, and 8 SAs on media and publicity, among others.
Reacting, a popular human rights lawyer and activist, Inibehe Effiong, took to his verified Facebook page to call out the student leader over the development, describing the appointments as a destructive political culture that has taken over Nigerian higher institutions.
He wrote, “His Excellency, the President, and Commander-in-Chief of the Students’ Union Government, Akwa Ibom State University, Comrade Abasifreke Benson, has very important information for the general public. I missed a lot that year when I served as President of the Students’ Representatives Council (SRC), Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus, without a single aide.
“What will the President of the Union then be doing in view of this long list of “appointees and aides?” His Excellency forgot to appoint a Senior Special Adviser and a Special Adviser on Legal Matters.
“There is a terrible political culture that has evolved in Akwa Ibom State; the culture of seeing ‘political appointments’ and proximity to power as the beginning and the end of life. This destructive political culture has infested higher institutions and is very sad.
See, there’s no doubt that hard work and perseverance have their benefits. It pays!
