The reinstatement was contained in a letter dated July 2, and entitled, “Restoration of Studentship.”

The letter was signed by the institution’s Registrar,  Mrs Funke Osore.

According to the letter , the reinstatement of the SUG president  was based on the intervention of the state government in the matter.

“Accordingly,  the academic board at its meeting held on Thursday,  July 2,  took into consideration the intervention of  state government which  results to restore your studentship with some conditions:

“A letter of certification from your guarantors, that is,  the Ogun government and DSS to maintain law and order for the period of your studentship in the institution and community.

“The letter is expected to be forwarded to the registrar through your head of department.”
