*MY PLANS TO PROGRESSIVELY MOVE OUR UNION FOWARD*

- *Brief Introduction*

My name is Emmanuel Sunday Attah, politically know as Immanuel Kant. I am a part 3 student of Economics in the great citadel of learning, Federal University Lokoja.

I am a part of this soil- a son of the land, I hail from the eastern part of Kogi State, igala by tribe.

By divine privilege, and as part of the service to humanity that I've been called into, I am the founder and national coordinator of KANT CARES FOUNDATION. KCF is an NGO that has a chief purpose of looking out for the needs of the less privileged in the society, and since inception we have contributed our quota in that regards.

- *Past contributions To The Student Community*
By God grace, and by the inherent desire he has placed within me to serve humanity, I have always been driven by a passion to have a positive impact wherever I find myself. Right from my secondary school days, to my days in the polytechnic and now at the University. Very early into my time in FUL, in my 100l days, having heard about the gravity of prerequisite in my department,even without been an executive member I engaged along side the department executives to have series of discussion to with the school management in the relax of prerequisites. Although our aim wasn't achieved then but years down the line these struggles pulled through.

During the covid 19 break, being triggered by compassion and in the spirit of student welfarism, I led a coalition of over 70 comrades all over the country (SUG presidents, SRC leaders, NANS Zonal executives etc) and students from over 30 higher institutions in an online struggle, demanding One Year Free Education as palliative for Nigerian Students due to the hardship the lock down brought. This struggle was laudable, Although we didn't get our demands fully met but some clauses in our demand were meet in some quarters.


Some of my contributions also include;
*Holding free lessons for primary and secondary school students during the lock down.

*helping many of our 2019/2020 freshers have a stress free online registration

* holding "unannounced" tutorials for student across department and faculty

*giving out free nose mask to students upon resumption from covid 19 break among many others.


Like I said earlier, for me it has always been about building Value,making impact by being an agent of positive change wherever I find my self, and I've allowed my self to be driven by my compassion for humanity to the end that people live better lives and are better better version of themselves.

- *Your Plans For The Students Of FUL*
By the virtue of my activeness and closeness to past and present leaders of our union and constant interaction with the students I will say that I know the plights of the student.
I must say that our past and present union leaders have done well.
And I am coming to build on the struggles so far but with a different model.
First let me state that I will be leading a *Demand Based Administration* my model to achieving laudable success is using the tool of *UNITY*. With unity of heart and purpose we will achieve alot for the student community.
When elected, my struggle will involve not just my executive members but also all faculty and department presidents as we shall be having periodic bi-monthly Or monthly interface where we meet to discuss the plight facing the students in their respective department and faculty and we shall together seek solutions and act on it.
This would cut across the entire executive offices. UNITY is a force for progress and I know if we are able to pull our energy together then we shall be able to serve the students community better. For purpose of reference the following are some of my watch point

*Student Welfarism (Social welfare,Academic welfare etc)

*FUL Campus radio. In training the students from mass communication, ELS, theater art etc on becoming an OAP

*Periodic extra curricular seminars,workshops,Traning etc, for skill acquisitions and development

*Student Union Autonomy giving rise to the emergance of the Student Representative Council (SRC).

From the aformentioned,as stated earlier we shall be running a demand based administration, listening to the yarnings and demands of the student and acting on them. To this note I have designed a model already ready to be launched, where students can easily make contributions ,observations, constructively criticise the activities of the union and making their demand from the comfort of their homes.

Everybody should have a voice and that voice should be heard, we want a student government were even the least individual has a say, after all we are here to serve the people not ourselves.

Take me for my word. *"I have a clear cut vision and its-PROGRESSIVE"* with your support we shall together progressively move our union forward.

I therefore call on all students of FUL to come out enmass on Friday 30th July to cast their vote.

Canvass and Vote for KANT for the progress of
*my union*
*your union*
*our union*


I am counting on you!
