Season Greetings from the to the generality of Great Ife,From the Electoral Commission Chairman (Showbaba)

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION  CHAIRMAN
GREAT IFE STUDENTS' UNION

Season's greeting to all students of this ivory tower.


With today bringing a new start in the Gregorian and also the Julian calendar. Definitely, everyone wants to start a fresh and better year. For the great privilege to cross over to this new year I say congratulations to you all.

As the Chairman of the democratically set up electoral body saddled with the responsibility of ushering in new set of leaders for our dear Union, I join the university students community in celebrating this feat specially. 2016 indeed was a year filled with several challenges and worth celebrating is the fact that we scaled through it together.

Unfortunate and pathetic is the case of two of our students we lost of recent. I use this opportunity to make my condolences known to the families of the deceased; may God grant them the lifetime fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. AMEN.

Let me also use this beautiful medium to reiterate the body's commitment to a timely election without unnecessary delay and adjournment . This present electoral body remains undaunted and unflinching in adequately employing the service of *Autonomy* (free from external control and influence), *Transparency* (shall display openness and transparency in all its activities and in its relationship with all stakeholders), *Integrity* (maintain truthfulness and honesty in all its dealings), *Credibility* (shall ensure that no action or activity is taken in support of any candidate), *Impartiality* (ensure the creation of a level playing field for all political actors), *Dedication* (shall be committed to providing quality electoral services efficiently and effectively, guided by best international practice and standards), *Equity* (shall ensure fairness and justice in dealing with all stakeholders), *Excellence*,  *Team work* and *Professionaism*.




Before I put my pen to rest, let me also emphasize the fact that in addition to the electoral mandate of the commission, issues relating to the welfarism of the students will not be taken with levity as the university authorities' and appropriate quarters will be put on their toes to give out the best to the students community.

Once again, Happy New Year. May the New year bring joy, love, Peace, unity and an astounding progress to all divisions and sections of the university.

Happy New Year2017
