UNIUYO SUG further clarifies the regulations regarding Social Events

The Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the University of Uyo has released an official clarificatory memorandum addressing the regulation of student social events both within and outside the institution.

According to the statement, the Director of Socials holds the constitutional responsibility to organize and coordinate all social and cultural activities involving students. Consequently, all student-related social events—whether organized by departments, faculties, associations, or other recognized bodies—must be formally communicated to the Office of the Director of Socials.

The Union emphasized that this requirement ensures proper coordination, safety, and accountability across campus activities. However, it clarified that private events such as weddings, birthdays, and burials are exempt from this regulation.

The memorandum further warned that failure to comply with these guidelines may result in disciplinary actions by the Students’ Union judiciary or the university administration, depending on the situation.

Union officials noted that the measure is aimed at promoting orderliness, uniformity, and effective planning of student activities across the university community.

Students and recognized groups have been urged to adhere strictly to the directive in the collective interest of peace, coordination, and proper administration.

The memorandum was signed by the Students’ Union Attorney General, underscoring the Union’s commitment to structured and lawful student engagement on campus.
