Institutional Oversight: EKSU SUG Suspends NEOLIFE and FHG Operations
The Student Union Government (SUG) of Ekiti State University (EKSU) has issued a definitive administrative directive mandating the immediate suspension of all activities, operations, and promotional programmes associated with NEOLIFE and its affiliate group, Faitheoric Global (FHG). This directive, effective from Wednesday, February 11, 2026, serves as a protective measure aimed at restoring academic focus and financial security within the student body.
The suspension is not merely a procedural pause but a response to what the union describes as "careful observation and multiple reports" regarding the conduct of these groups within the university premises.
Rationale for the Suspension
The SUG’s decision is rooted in its constitutional mandate to safeguard the holistic welfare of EKSU students. Following an internal investigation, the union highlighted several critical areas of concern that necessitated this intervention:
Academic Interference: Reports indicated that persistent recruitment drives and business engagements were being prioritized over primary academic responsibilities, leading to a decline in scholastic focus.
Mental and Financial Well-being: The union noted that the high-pressure environment created by these groups allegedly impacted the mental health of students, while the financial commitments required for participation posed a threat to student stability.
Operational Irregularities: The memo cited unregulated meetings held at "odd hours," which disrupted the standard campus routine and raised security and safety concerns.
Directives for the Student Body
In light of this suspension, the SUG has outlined specific expectations for all bona fide students of Ekiti State University:
Cessation of Participation: Students are advised to refrain from attending meetings, participating in promotions, or engaging in recruitment activities linked to NEOLIFE or FHG on campus.
Reporting Protocols: Students who encounter ongoing activities by these groups despite the ban are encouraged to report such instances to the SUG Secretariat or the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
Strict Compliance: The union has emphasized that this directive is binding. Any student found violating the suspension or actively promoting these groups within the university community will face appropriate institutional sanctions.
Commitment to Academic Integrity
The EKSU SUG remains committed to fostering an environment where academic pursuits remain the primary objective of every student. By curbing unregulated external business influences that conflict with lecture schedules and study periods, the union aims to uphold the academic integrity and reputation of the institution.
This administrative action will remain in force until further notice, pending a more comprehensive review of student-related external organizations operating within the university.
