Ursula Ojiji, Student President (Communication & Democracy) said, "I am pleased with the tremendous success of our team of Presidents and Vice Presidents and what we have been able to achieve throughout this academic year. The hard work, dedication and teamwork has definitely paid off, but we couldn’t have succeeded without the backing of our great students, plus the support from staff at the Union and all across the University"
