UI student shares SRC sitting experience
On her LinkedIn page, Favour Mitchelle Madubugwu stated that though the meeting was long, it was enjoyable and engaging
Her LinkedIn post read:
"On April 25th, I had the opportunity to attend my first-ever sitting of the Students' Representative Council (SRC), the legislative arm of the Students' Union, University of Ibadan.
"It was a long sitting, but quite engaging and enjoyable. I also had the opportunity to contribute to discussions and advocate for two particular students and campus needs during the sitting.
"Beyond that, I got to witness intellectual and brilliant advocacy from students like myself, representing various constituencies across the University of Ibadan.
"Moments like this remind me of the importance of student leadership, representation, and the power of student voices in shaping our academic environment.
"It was truly inspiring to see passion, articulation, and commitment on display. Final year is indeed teaching me to appreciate these experiences differently... SRC First Sitting Experience."
In a chat with Legit.ng, Favour shared why she decided to join the SRC in her final year.
She said:
"I joined the University of Ibadan Students' Union Students' Representative Council (SRC) in my final year because this interest gradually grew into a deeper curiosity about advocacy and policy. This was further shaped by experiences such as a student legislative summit I attended, where I was reminded that the change we want may only truly happen when we are part of the spaces or present in rooms where decisions are actually made.
"That made me more intentional about wanting to understand governance, representation, and how decisions are shaped from within, rather than from the outside. And what better way to begin than to use the platform the university environment affords students?"
