‎After the notification, the Students Representative Council held its sitting at classroom C, Admin Extension building . The sitting began around 11:00 am on the 30th January, 2026 with the opening prayer , followed by the reading of the last minute by the Deputy Speaker, Honorable Michael, as the Clerk seems to be unavailable at the moment.

‎Swearing in of the newly elected *honorable Esther* from part 1 as well as in-house election to elect a new chief whip. Honorable Solomon went unopposed and he was elected as the chief whip. Following that was the ratification of judicial council which was later put on hold due to certain reasons.

‎In the middle of ratification,the Speaker ordered all the Executives to step out of the room in order to bring in the already requested correspondence, which they've failed to do. In the light of this, several deliberation on the punishment to be given to them and aside from other fines to be paid by some members of the Executives and some of the SRC members, the house conversed on the kind of punishment,some supported collective punishment as the executives work as a team, other suggested that each office should be sanctioned separately. Some Gallarians pointed out that queries given to the Executives will definitely keep them on their toes. Although Honorable Damilare and other honorables supported that each executive should submit a *handwritten letter of over 1000 words and also pay a fine of 500 naira* ,but over 10 other honorables supported that the Executives should be queried and this is the verdict. To ensure deep understand of the constitution concerning "Queries", Honorable Yackson read the part of the constitution which mentioned that Impeachment will be the last resort to several queries.
