A lecturer at the Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology in Wudil, Kano, has been suspended on charges that he physically punished several of his students.
An online video that went viral on Monday showed a university lecturer reprimanding students in the lecture hall.
Such behavior was considered inappropriate for a postsecondary institution, so the episode caused a great deal of discussion and condemnation.
The university’s Deputy Registrar, Information and Public Relations Unit, Sai’du Abdullahi Nayaya, said on Tuesday that the lecturer in question had been located, questioned, and suspended in response to a petition filed by Kano-based attorney Abba Hikima.
In a statement titled “Re: Viral video on student maltreatment,” Nayaya confirmed that the suspended staff member would undergo further disciplinary proceedings before the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee.
The statement read, “The attention of the management of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, is drawn to a viral video circulating in the social media, of physical assault/corporal punishment meted out on some students by an academic staff in a lecture hall and the story on the issue carried by some media houses.
“To that effect, the management of the university immediately queried and suspended the staff in question and forwarded the case to the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee for further action.[CONTINUE READING HERE]
