The move follows a promise by Vice-Chancellor Folasade Ogunsola to restore student representation, aimed at strengthening leadership development, giving students a platform for expression, and preparing them for solution-driven roles.
The SUG had been dissolved in April 2016 due to student unrest and protests that disrupted academic activities, and the nine-year suspension was intended to restore order on campus.
