The authorities of the Umaru Yar’Ádua University, Katsina, have denied discriminating against Christian students in the approval granted a students religious association to operate on its campus. The Acting Dean of Student Affairs of the University, Sulaiman Kankara, had in January 17 memo informed students of a new guideline for the registration of clubs and associations in the institution. In the circular, Dr. Kankara indicated that participation in clubs and associations, including departmental ones, were strictly optional and that no student should be compelled to pay dues. He also outlawed the formation of tribal and local government associations in the university. But the controversial part of the memo which made the document to go viral was the dean’s pronouncement that the “Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) is the only religious association allowed to operate on campus.” After the memo was shared on social media, the university came under ferocious attacks from many Nigerians, with some commentators saying the guideline was part of government’s plot to Islamise Nigeria. But when contacted on Sunday morning, Dr. Kankara said that aspect of the guideline was actually targeted at Islamic groups which were beginning to mushroom on campus, creating division among students of the same faith. The dean said, “Actually there is one misconception in the memo. But the fact of the matter is that in Umaru Yar’Ádua University, there is no association known as Christian Students Association. “There is one religious association and subsidiary Islamic students associations like the Tijjanniya Students Movement in Nigeria, Academic Forum of Islamic Movement in Nigeria and many associations like that. “They are Islamic students association. So what we want is to have a single union which will be the mouthpiece of muslim students and that is the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria. “It has nothing to do with any Christian group because up till now, I have not received any application requesting registration of Christian Students Society. “And once they do that, we are ready to register them. Even as at last week, we said the two religious group to be recognised by the university will be the Muslim one and one from Christian side. “Up till now we are to receive any application for the registration of any Christian association in the university from any group.” |

[b]Whatever religion the memo is targeting is unconstitutional. Whoever that drafted and signed the memo should know that section 38 (3) of 1999 Constitution of Nigeria and I quote "No religious community or denomination shall be prevented from providing religious instruction for pupils of that community nor denomination in any place of education maintained wholly by that community or denomination" and section 38 (4) said that "nothing in this section shall entitle any person to form, take part in the activity or be a member of secret society". From this subsection the Governor is yet to prove to the people of Nigeria that whatever student's of a religious body he is targeting are constituting themselves are a members of a secret society. Remember that onus is on he who allege to come and prove, which they have not done. May allegation is not enough to deprive people of their fundamental human right through an ordinary memo. Infact, remember that the constitution is supreme as stated in section 1 of the 1999 constitution and whenever any other Federal or State Law is inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution, the Constitution shall prevail and that other Law shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void. Other Laws includes both Federal and State memos like that of Katsina State Government. We should not allow this impunity to continue like this[/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

The MSSN 'is the only' religious body recognised by the institution It's obvious only Muslim students association is recognized. |

Emekamex: Bigger than that is selfish. The truth is an average Nigerian is just selfish and greedy. An all man for himself mentality is the bane of Nigerian growth and unity. It just that religion and tribe are used to interprete such greed and selfishness. If one really dig deep into why a university should come up with such kind of policy, we would find out that it's simply because of selfishness and greed of influence and affluence. Simple.... 1 Like |

fiizznation: What is the source of funds allocated to Katsina state? What is the status of sharia law? Is it personal law applicable to islam adherents or forcibly binding on all indigenes of the states to the exclusion of all other religions? Is Katsina a secular state or islamic state? Is Katsina an independent state or subject to provisions of the Nigerian constitution? 5 Likes |

fiizznation:so if you are not a Muslim, you are sharia bound right? The university is established by the state for all the inhabitants of the state not only Muslims. As a matter of fact, it's a public institution not private, and to be religious bias is inappropriate. Name any state university, public institutions not private, in those areas you mentioned that doesn't tolerate other religions |
