“The last election we had on this campus was eight years ago and six years ago when we were to have another election, it was not possible and thank God that today we had a fresh election and I emerged as the Chairman of the union.
“I promised members of the academic community of the institution that I am not going to let them down. The confidence they had in me and they still have in me will never be taken for granted.”
Lawal, further stated that: “I am going to work hard for the progress of the institution. Like I said during the campaign, I am not going to work in a way that we won’t have focus. Members have a good deal and they have chosen me and I am going to work for them.”
