SUG leader



A video of a supposed Students’ Union leader with a retinue of ‘security details’ and a waiting convoy of vehicles has emerged on social media, sparking a series of reactions.

The yet-to-be-identified student is said to be the Speaker of the Students’ Representative Council of Kano University of Science and Technology.

The SRC is the legislative arm of the Students’ Union Government in tertiary institutions.

A Twitter user, Ogundeyi Oluwatosin shared the video via his handle @hogundeyi1.

He captioned:

“Sometimes I am fascinated by the north and its political consciousness. Here is a video of the Kano university of science and technology student representative council; please compare to any Student union of any university in the south.”

In the viral footage, the SRC leader and others believed to be principal officers of the SRC could be seen in their agbada attire walking out of the SRC building with some young men standing as their bodyguards, ushering them to a waiting coaster bus.

Some of the ‘bodyguards’ were seen dressed in black suits like DSS operatives, while others wore vests with the inscription “SRC intelligence”.

The SRC leader himself was seen waving at a waiting crowd of students who had gathered around the SRC building as he and his entourage made their way into the convoy.

Some social media users, however, found the scene disturbing and described the students’ union leader as ‘power-drunk’.

However, in the face of the backlashes the video has generated on social media, a Twitter user has said the video was filmed during a cultural week celebration at the university last week.
