“In order to guarantee an effective and wholesome dispensation of official duties or provisional responsibilities, it is pertinent to have a classic division of labor and collective attention to matters”. The Attorney General of the Student Union, Akintola AbdulJalaal A. SAU AGSU stated in a meeting held on Monday, 3rd of April 2023; at the Conference Room of the Attorney General’s office during the appointment of certain litigation bureau members as distinctive officials to new offices.
After the assumption of office by the Attorney-General, it was noted that duties and official responsibilities started immediately, defenses and appearance in court, as well as other activities required of him.
While the election holiday delayed some plans, it simultaneously served as a look-back to attack strategy for the litigation bureau of the Attorney General of Students’ Union.
This is because different intellectual, productive and value packed virtual sessions were placed on the pace to guarantee a prosperous and forward moving advocacy, knowledge of law and circumstantial understanding of members of the bureau.
On the basis of the foregoing, the first physical meeting of the bureau with Akintola AbdulJalaal A. SAU, Attorney General of the Students’ Union became an unforgettable experience and historical event since the existence of a students’ union Attorney General. This was because the Solicitor General was appointed in the person of Balogun Aminat Oyindamola, the first ever of its kind.
Not only that, Abdulganniy Abdulmalik Omogbolahan, Olasehinde Abiodun Oluwaseun, Ologunde Ajibola and Toheeb Abdulsamod Obasanjo were also appointed to the offices of Head of Operations, Head of Civil litigation, Head of Criminal Litigation and Head of Research and legal drafting department respectively.
It was a delightful event as these appointments served as a portrait showing how these personnel have been effective, active and passively working hard since they joined the litigation bureau.
The meeting ended with the celebration of the officials and advice on working hard and being dedicated that was addressed to all other members of the bureau and the students of University of Ilorin at large.
