Upholding Integrity at UNICAL: SUG Issues Strong Warning Against Illegal Space Allocation
The Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has issued a firm warning to all students and individuals engaging in the illegal allocation of university spaces. This directive, announced through the SUG Taskforce on October 3, 2025, reaffirms the union’s commitment to maintaining order, transparency, and integrity within the campus community.
According to the public notice, anyone found guilty of allocating or occupying university spaces without proper authorization will face serious disciplinary consequences, including immediate revocation of such allocations.
Taskforce Moves to Restore Transparency
In a statement signed by the Taskforce Chairman, High Chief Winston Churchill, the SUG made it clear that illegal space acquisition violates university rules and undermines fair access to resources. The Chairman emphasized that every student and staff member must follow due process when applying for campus spaces — whether for business, accommodation, or organizational use.
“We are committed to ensuring transparency in all campus operations,” Churchill stated. “The Taskforce will not hesitate to reclaim any illegally obtained space and apply disciplinary measures where necessary.”
This decisive stance by the SUG aims to create a more organized and accountable environment that benefits the entire university community.
What the Warning Means for Students
The new directive affects all categories of students, especially those involved in:
- Allocating or subletting spaces without official approval.
- Occupying unauthorized areas in student halls or business premises.
- Engaging in backdoor deals related to campus property.
The SUG Taskforce has also urged students to report any illegal space transactions directly to their office for proper investigation.
Students are encouraged to obtain official allocation letters through the recognized university channels to avoid penalties. For more details about official student policies, visit the University of Calabar official website.
Promoting a Culture of Accountability
Beyond enforcing disciplinary actions, the SUG also seeks to promote a culture of fairness and accountability among students. By tackling illegal space allocation, the union aims to ensure that resources meant for academic, commercial, and social purposes are distributed equitably.
The SUG leadership emphasized that this campaign is part of a broader strategy to make the University of Calabar a model of integrity in Nigerian higher education.
Students and campus organizations are reminded that the university administration, in collaboration with the SUG, has existing procedures for applying for official spaces. Details about campus regulations can also be found on the National Universities Commission (NUC) website, which outlines standard practices across Nigerian universities.
Consequences of Ignoring the Directive
Any student or group found violating this directive may face:
- Immediate revocation of the illegally acquired space.
- Disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion.
- Loss of business privileges within the campus.
These measures are designed to deter future offenders and protect the interests of compliant students and organizations.
SUG’s Commitment to a Better Campus
High Chief Winston Churchill concluded by calling on all students to cooperate with the SUG Taskforce in upholding discipline and fairness on campus. He reaffirmed the Taskforce’s dedication to a clean, transparent, and law-abiding student community.
“Together, we can make UNICAL a place where honesty, fairness, and integrity thrive,” he added.
