The Staff Adviser to the Association of Students Communicators (ASCOM), Dr Adunola, has assured students that the association's election for the 2026/2027 academic session will hold due time.
Dr Adunola gave the assurance during a courtesy visit to his office by ASCOM Press earlier today, where he addressed concerns surrounding the delay in conducting the election.
Speaking on the delay, he explained that the department had been occupied with several academic responsibilities, making it difficult for staff members to attend to multiple activities simultaneously.
He added that the institution had directed the department to submit the graduating students' results, which also required the attention of staff members.
According to him, arrangements had been made for the election to hold before the end of the week. He also disclosed that some students had been appointed by the outgoing ASCOM executives to serve on the electoral committee, adding that the election would be conducted online.
"The ASCOM election will be a genuine election, not a selection, and will be conducted without interference from any lecturer," he affirmed.
Dr Adunola further revealed that aspirants who failed to meet the required (CGPA) had been disqualified during the screening process.
He, however, urged students to remain peaceful, concentrate on their academic activities, participate actively in the electoral process, and accept the outcome of the election in good faith
