Federal University Gusau (FUGUS) expels students for protesting against insecurity

The Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, has expelled four students and reportedly restricted others from accessing its registration portal for protesting against insecurity two months ago.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that 34 students were invited to face a disciplinary committee before they left for semester holiday for partaking in the protest.

Three of the students who were questioned said they had been handed letters of expulsion while others are waiting to receive their expulsion letters from the school’s management. Most of the indicted students are in 300 or 400 levels.

During the protest, some of the students said they were tired of being abducted by terrorists.

Zamfara, like several other states in the North-west, faces more than a decade long terrorist insurrection.

The terrorists locally referred to as bandits attack rural communities, travellers and educational institutions.

Many students have been abducted within the period.

Three of the students – Rejoice Guga, Georgina Bulus and Abdulsalam Onimisi, said they have collected their expulsion letters.

“For now, four of us have collected their expulsion letters from the management; other students are not back from semester holiday,” Ms Guga said.
