There is no doubt, whatsoever, that student unionism is desirable in the Federal University of Technology Akure.

What the authorities expect, however, is mature and responsible leadership from members of the student union executive, as they are a critical link between the students and the authorities.

Towards this end, and in order to have responsible and visionary student leadership, the authorities have put in place a number of quality control measures for those who are aspiring to be student leader.

One of these measures is that such students must have made a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.50.

The authorities have always consciously encouraged students to join the body, and have always insisted on good quality leadership. Towards this end the Federal University of Technology Akure Student Union Government, comprising of the three arms of the government namely the executive council, legislative council and the judicial council, an an embodiment of great and charismatic individuals, saddled with the responsibility of looking into the welfarism of students on campus have staged a 24 hours in administration programme titled “One Day FUTASU President“.

Schemes like this have being implored in several state governments in the nation for secondary school students who emerge in an essay competition or the other in the state. The case isn’t different for the FUTA Student Union Government.

Interested students are to write an article of not less that 500 words on the topic; “IF I AM FUTASU PRESIDENT, WHAT WILL I DO FOR THE INTEREST OF FUTARIANS ?”.

Articles are to be submitted to the email olamidechalcedony@gmail.com, while the deadline for submission of the articles is 26th of January, 2018.

However, the date of which the 24hours in administration is to be staged is yet to be unveiled.
