On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, a concerned student at Njala University, Njala Campus, Mokonde Kori Chiefdom, Moyamba District, issued a formal notice addressing the administration and the current Student Union Government (SUG), highlighting critical issues surrounding the failure to conduct timely elections. The letter, which has garnered attention among the student body, expresses deep concerns over the SUG’s extended term without a legitimate mandate, deeming it a violation of the constitution.

In the letter, the student argues that the SUG’s inability to hold elections has resulted in a significant lack of accountability, transparency, and representation for students. The prolonged tenure of the current government is seen as undermining the fundamental principles of student governance, which are essential for a healthy democratic process.

The concerned student is calling for immediate action, urging the SUG to establish a clear timeline for elections by Friday, July 4, 2025, coinciding with the end of the academic year. The letter emphasizes the need for a transparent and fair electoral process to restore trust within the student community.

In closing, the student advocates for prioritizing the interests and needs of the student body, aiming for a more inclusive and representative government. As the deadline approaches, many students await the SUG’s response to these pressing concerns.
