WE STILL REMAIN ONE FAMILY, ONE UNION, ONE LOVE AND ONE GIANT

On behalf of the Union I wish to commend all key players in our struggle to build a strong students' unionism in campus. Based on the principle of ubis jus ibi remedium we are set to build a stronger union.

Through out this period of crisis, God have been so faithful to us and I believed that events of the past days opened our eyes to things we know and things we don't know, the struggle was not in vain. Many of us abandoned our comfort for the love of Zikites, we made a point and at last we all remain strong.

I want to use this opportunity to commend my leader and humble President His Excellency Comrade Ibe Chukwunonso Michael Cico our dear SUG President, for his unalloyed support for peace and conflict resolution, he actually fought like a leader and know when to apply the brake. In the face of the crisis he still remain focus. My dear President, I thank you so much for being a leader with a large heart, I will commend you for your positive response to correct all wrongs in the union so as to build a better union for our future Students leaders.

Cico you are my brother and a friend and I will keep loving you as a brother Mr President.

May I also commend my brother and the leader of the Students Parliament of our institution known as the Students' Representative Council (SRC), Rt Hon Chekwube Okigbo. A man whose YES is his YES and his NO remains his NO. So far, I see him as a leader who knows how to manage crisis with strict principle, I'm happy that finally for the love of Zikites we did the best.

I will not forget so soon the great radical leaders of the parliament (SRC) for acceding and honouring the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which Students Judicial Council set up to manage the cracks in the union. Your positive responds and various roles see that all we laboured for were not in vain. I have never seen a radicalised parliament like this. I think Unizik Students' Parliament remain a litmus test for Nigerian parliament.

Furthermore may I also commend the Students' Judicial Council (SJC) of our great institution more especially the Council of Judges for heeding to my plea and warning to remain apolitical through out this period of higi haga in the union. It simply showed the world that judges maintain the decorum in the face of crisis.

Ipso facto it will be very hard for me to conclude without saying a very big thank you and appreciation to our lovey father and dad, the best reigning new wise Vice Chancellor in Nigeria Prof. Joseph Eberendu Ahaneku, for believing in me and also giving me the mandate and opportunity to handle the situation in the union. Daddy the decorum and response you have shown to we your children simply shows that with time Unizik the Ivory of Tower will turn to be the best Students friendly university in Africa. Thank you so much Mr. Vice Chancellor. The Union will always give you support for the interest of students.

Moreover, I express my appreciation to members of the Governing Council of our university most especially Dr Aribodo for the brotherly role he played to make sure that we achieved peace. His experience as Former SUG President and speaker contributed a lot.

Also, Dr Godson Okafor (Director infrastructure) remains the best to the university community.

I also thank The Personal Assistant to our dear Vice Chancellor, Sir Markutus for his nice initiatives as a former union leader to find a way out.

Furthermore, I thank our spiritual director and parents, most especially my mum for their advice and prayers.

Also, a big thanks to my friends and colleagues in the Alternative Dispute Resolution Panel, more especially my brother and very good close supportive friend Hon Comrade Umeorah Christian Chidiebube. The love I have for you as a brother is 101%. In the face of crisis and confusion, you are always on my side to help me to subtle the storm, your role and advice in the face of stigma, crisis, gossips and cheap blackmail to my person and office in the union remain indelible to me.

Also, Comrade Ezeogbuefi martins is not left out. He is a hidden green horn in my sojourn in the union, he knows the truth.

Another good companion is Paschal Onyejelam. His philosophical advice and support in the face of foolish gossips is another feather to the cap.

Also, Hon Chisolu Obumneke Okeke your sojourn as the Attorney General of the union always shine out the best in the union even in the face of crisis, in the face of our hide and seek game you made us proud.

Another great companion is Chinedu Frankie Skippo Nwogu. Thank you so much.

If I continue to roll out prominent figures that helped my office to achieve peace and good developments in our SUG, my pen will keep flowing till the last ink drops. But my greatest greeting goes to the students of our great citadel of learning. The greatest Zikites I'm proud of you all.

In conclusion I will like to state categorically that the problem in the union is an inherited problem, which this current administration inherited from the past but with time I promise all zikites that we shall correct all wrongs in the union, things shall be done in a proper way, transparent system shall be adopted. Before we leave office with our dear brother and leader His Excellency Comrade Ibe Chukwunonso Cico Micheal, we will leave a better union free from chains and open transparent system of governance.

For the love of UNIZIK we remain one family, one giant, one love and one union. Thank You.

Signed
I.A Muoneme (Dip-Law, FEYFN),
(Chief Judge SUG NAU Awka).
