Prof. Daura who was represented at the event by the Dean, Student Affairs, Prof. Sani Isa, expressed his dissatisfaction on some students over their unguarded utterances about the activities of the University on social media platforms.

In his address, the University Acting Director of ICT, Dr. Idi Mohammed, advised the students to properly apply for the students’ NELFUND in which he said, some students are making mistakes while applying for the loan.
In their separate remarks, the Head of Geology Department, Prof. Adam Zarma, and his counterpart from Public Administration, Dr Hadiza Mali Bukar, charged the students to concentrate more on their studies than student unionism.
