Authorities of the University of Ibadan (UI), will today meet with students’ representatives at the Senate Chamber of the institution.

A university source said the meeting, which is arranged to seek students’ input into the administrative and policy formulation procedure of the school was a follow-up to the parents and stakeholders’ forum held last Tuesday.

The source said, “It is also a demonstration of the vice chancellor’s commitment to the open-door policy he promised while campaigning for the office.”

Meanwhile, the school says its attention has been drawn to concerns expressed by some students that the Senate Chamber, may not contain the large number of students willing to attend the interactive session/swearing-in programme.

According to the source, “In as much as the university’s management would appreciate a large turnout of students at the event, the choice of the Senate Chamber has become inevitable since Trenchard Hall had earlier been booked and paid for to host the birthday celebrations of a very senior and much respected member of the community.

“The university’s management also wishes to reiterate that it is the exclusive reserve of the management to determine the date and venue for swearing-in as soon as elections were successfully concluded.
