BREAKING: AAUA SUG President Appoints Nearly 40 Aides & Special Advisers Days After Taking Office
The newly elected President of the Adekunle Ajasin University Students’ Union (AAUASU), Folagbade Greatness Ayoola (popularly known as Greatness of AAUASU), has stirred reactions after appointing close to 40 aides and special advisers shortly after assuming office.
In an official memo from the Office of the Students’ Union President, the appointments include key positions such as:
Chief of Staff: Olayinka Oluwaferanmi Emmanuel
Deputy Chief of Staff: Oluwafemi Olalekan Israel
Senior Personal Assistant: Omotunwase Success Ayomide
Chief Press Secretary: Ajileye Henry Olawale
And several others in roles like Director of Media & Publicity, Director of Protocol, etc.
There are also Special Advisers on Strategy, Academic Affairs, Students’ Welfare, Security, ICT, Sports, Health, Religious Affairs (Christian & Islamic), Logistics, Fundraising, and many more.
According to the Union, the massive appointments are aimed at ensuring “top-notch administration and proper effectiveness” of the presidency.
While some students applaud the move as a way to involve more hands in union activities, others are questioning if a Students’ Union really needs such a huge cabinet, comparing it to the bloated structure of Nigerian politics.
