The Senate of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has banned position of class representatives within the institution.
The decision, reached during a Special meeting held on Thursday, January 25, 2024, entails the proscription of the position of Class Representative roles.
The announcement, conveyed through a memo signed by the University Registrar, Mr. Gabriel O. Egbe, indicates that this ban takes immediate effect.
