The University of Ilorin Students' Union has again proved its mettle among Nigerian university student organisations, as members of its Senate Council clinched the second position at the inter-varsity debate of the third annual legislative summit organised by the Students Representative Council of the University of Ibadan Students' Union.

The event, which took place penultimate Friday (March 18, 2016), was themed "21 Century Legislature in Anticipation of a Better Nigeria". The Unilorin representatives at the debate were Aiwekhoe Richard Osaro, Adekunbi Ademola and Bashir Lukman. They were at the Students Affairs Unit last Monday (March 21, 2016) to hand over the prize they won to the Dean, Student Affairs, Prof. A. E. Talabi.

Receiving the award, Prof. Talabi noted that he has always been impressed with the Unilorin Students' Union, adding that the recent visit of the Kenyatta University Students Association (KUSA) to the University was a testament to the quality of students' unionism in the University of Ilorin.

Prof. Talabi, who was with the Sub-Dean, Student Affairs, Dr. A. Yusuf, described the award as "another cap to make the University of Ilorin better by far". He thanked the University administration, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), for providing the enabling environment to allow constructive unionism to thrive on the campus.

Other students that attended the Ibadan summit were: Musa James Jiya, Deputy Senate President; Sanni Jamiu Mohammed, Senator, Imam-Lawal Ummulikhaer, Students' Union Vice-President; Akano T. Ifeoluwapo, Students' Union General Secretary; Abdulrasheed Olatunji, Students' Union Welfare Secretary; Imam Abdulkadri, Clerk, Senate Council; and Akinboro Doyinsola, Deputy Clerk, Senate Council.
