NUS DELEGATE MANIFESTO

Hi I'm Ibrahim Abdille, a Third year Economics, Politics and Public Policy student.

As your former BME officer and current SU Trustee, I’ve carried out a series of events this year, 

including a very successful Black History Month, and a number of solidarity stunts for Ferguson. 

Working with the resources I’ve managed to gain as an NUS BSC committee member as well, I’ve 

also worked to create Goldsmiths Student Union’s first ever BME Network. In my trustee, I’ve kept 

to my mandate to increase transparency and accountability. 

I was elected your NUS Delegate last year. And at National Conference, we voted in support of NUS 

having a free education policy ahead of the General Election, opposing UKIP, campaigning for asylum 

seekers & refugee access to education and no fees with re-sits.

Some of My Priorities;

Call for Greater Transparency. The NUS are elected by students, so they should currently are 

unaccountable and have weak transparency; I will push for more transparency and will demand 

better from the NUS as they are elected to represent us.

Renewed Support For Existing Campaigns. The NUS should be a campaigning union for student 

concerns. I’ll lobby the NUS to uphold and maintain their promises to students. Campaigns free 

education, BDS, Anti-Racism and Fascism & putting an end to police brutality in student protests and 

movements.

Prioritise Students.  Essential student services are being privatised and other shut down. I’ll call the 

NUS to support and back the students and unions that elected them. International students are 

currently having to pay extortionate fees and are subject to horrendous checks by UKBA. 

As a delegate I aim to be open and accountable for my time and I will aim to report back to you 

exactly what I have done as NUS delegate.

Vote Ibrahim Abdille #1 for NUS Delegate.
