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.
