UDUS student union president and financial secretary
suspended over misconduct/ money issues!
It was a steaming hot avenue as the president of the
Student Union, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, sokoto
Comrade Umar Farouq Sa'id and the financial secretary were
both suspended for 6 weeks and eight weeks respectively.
The financial secretary was suspended due to lack of
adequate information on the financial status of the student
union and for paying a sum of N41000 belonging to the
student union into his own personal account. Despite several
warnings by the SRA he reportedly showed a non challant
attitude leading to his suspension. The motion for the
suspension was made by Hon Akewushola Khadijah and
Seconded by comrade Ishola Abubakar.
The president was however suspended for not giving
adequate/correct information on some events he attended
during the break. He reportedly sent letters indicating that he'll
be attending conferences in Abuja and portharcourt, however
the venues he gave and the details of the events we proven to
be false after investigations. The president also reportedly
spent N40000 for accomodation at an event in which
accomodation was said to have been free.
Responding to the allegations the president stated that his
brain was not a computer and he could not remember where
the conference in portharcourt was held, neither could he
remember the account from which N40000 was paid. The
Speaker of the SRA however stated that the suspensions were
done in accordance to the constitution of the school.
The President claimed that his withdrawal of the,N40000
was a suggestion of the dean student affairs, and he threatened
to challenge the decision of the house.
Honourable Yusuf Habeeb
A member of the student representative assembly from the
faculty of pharmaceutical sciences Honourable Yusuf Habeeb
has stated that the house would have involved the Economic
and financial crimes commission EFCC in the case involving
the SU president presenting inadequate information to the
house but they tempered justice with mercy. He however stated
that the university's Zero Tolerance club would be involved in
the investigations.

We keep our fingers crossed as we watch the issues
unfold
