The Great Ife Students’ Union has restated that no social event will be held on campus without the approval of the Union’s Director of Socials and Culture.
The directive, contained in a release issued on Friday, October 3, 2025, and signed by the Central Executive Council, is grounded in the Union’s constitution, which assigns the Director of Socials the responsibility of overseeing cultural and recreational activities for students. According to the release, Section 31(1) states that “the Director of Socials and Culture shall be responsible for all social activities of the Union,” while Section 1(4) clarifies that this responsibility extends to all matriculated students who have paid Union dues, honorary life members, and patrons.

According to the Union, the approval process is aimed at preventing clashes of events, improving coordination, and, most importantly, guaranteeing the safety of students. Faculties, departments, and associations are therefore expected to notify the Director of Socials’ office before organising any social activity.
The Students’ Union explained that the measure is not intended to stifle student activities but to maintain an environment where social life on campus can thrive without disorder or security concerns.
The statement, endorsed by other members of the executive council, reinforces earlier reminders issued in previous sessions and highlights the Union’s determination to keep the Great Ife social space vibrant yet well-structured.
