UNIMA STUDENTS TO ELECT PRESIDENT OF STUDENTS COUNCIL

University of Malawi (UNIMA) students are expected to elect president of university students representative council tomorrow.

Two students from third year class, Ekari Orama Mathuka and Humble C Banda will contest for presidency.

Muthuka said that he will make sure that all the challenges students are facing are solved within a short period of time and needy students are not withdrawn from collage due to payment of tuition fees once he is elected as UNIMA students council president.

Mathuka has also promised to hold talks with the UNIMA authorities and the Parliamentary committee on education to resolve the tuition fees issue that concern the needy students.

He promised to engage UNIMA authorities on the academic calendar observing that most of the decisions are made without their inputs.

He, therefore, asked his fellow students to vote for him on the presidential race.

Humble C Banda said he will ensure that students are given allowances and that academic calendar is followed in the interest of students.

He also promised to engage with the ESCOM so that UNIMA campus should be spared from load shedding.

Banda has further pledged to ensure that freedom of academic is back in line with democracy apart from ensuring consultation with fellow students in matters of students concerns.
