Nigerian University Sacks Three Staff for Purported Gross Misconduct Three staff members of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, have been dismissed by the Governing Council of the institution for gross misconduct, containing result aberration, sexual harassment and abscondment from duty.
At the 171st in order meeting of the university on March 12, 2025, the decision was agreed and declared in an official press release signed by the institution’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Ismail Yauri.
This also trended:
He interpreted that the disciplinary action aligns with University’s strict “zero tolerance” policy for unethical behaviour.
According to the statement, the decision underscored the institution’s dedication to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring a safe environment for both staff and students.
The statement subjoined, “UDUS, one of northern Nigeria’s leading universities, has consistently stressed ethical standards amidst its staff and students. The latest dismissals serve as a warning against violations of the institution’s code of conduct.”
Efforts to obtain further comments from university officials regarding the identities of the affected staff and potential legal actions were abortive as students have reacted with intermixed opinions— more or less lauded the university’s firm stance on discipline, while others summoned for more transparency in handling such cases.
