In as much as we accept your call for a meeting so as to settle the listed issues amicably, we also, with all due respect sir, want to call your attention to the need for a more robust response to all students. 

Our heart has been filled already, and not until our demands are fully adhered to in full public glare can we entertain any meeting with you sir. We have met you severally on the same issue and your response is what led to the ultimatum we were forced to issue". 

"Please sir, to make everything easier for all parties, we are asking you to meet with all students on Monday for proper address and response to our demands

Majority of the students would like to know your stand on these demands individually.

We would like to hear your stand on our 4 demands", the statement added.

The statement stated, ' I just read the communique you forwarded to me and carefully considered the issues raised and noted the sincere appeal for swift consideration and cooperation. I will be asking for a meeting with SUG Sunday or Monday on the issues and I believe we will be able to march forward without crisis in this great UofA as we resolve our matters peacefully'.

 I appreciate the SUG‘s maturity in the continued dialogue. The UofA will remain the great example to all Nigerian universities！ God will help us out!' the Statement expanded.
