Re-elect

Yemi Makinde for NUS Block of 15

NUS is at a crossroads. With a new constitution, NUS stands poised to produce overdue and lasting results that students need and handing control of the National Union back to those it seeks to represent. But, the new constitution is only half the job done. Students deserve and NUS needs a candidate is !""#$$%&'$!'()*+**#,-'$.%'/#0#!,'!('$.%',%1' !,0$#$)$#!,2' to put students at the heart and focus of NUS. A candidate who is united and campaigning with you, not just in times of triumphs and national photo calls, but in times of troubles and quiet conversations. A candidate with the experience, drive and determination to hand control of the National Union back to its membership. Over the last year I have proven, I am that candidate. An independent candidate ready work and ready to ask the hard questions. Re-elect me and let’s start building an NUS we can be proud of.
