University suspends professor for using corporal punishment on students [Video]

Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology in Wudil, Kano State has suspended a professor for allegedly subjecting pupils to physical punishment.

Sa’idu Abdullahi Nayaya, the university’s Deputy Registrar for Information and Public Relations, made the news.

On Wednesday, February 7, Nayaya announced the immediate suspension of the professor, whose identity was suppressed.

A video of university students being corporally punished for tardiness and other minor infractions in class went viral.

The university administration said that the sanctions included frog jumping.

“Viral video on students maltreatment: The staff in question after the suspension would face the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee for further action.
 
“The management is hereby assuring parents and guardians and the general public that the welfare and safety of the students are topmost and any breach by whosoever way will not be tolerated and go unpunished.’
 
“The immediate suspension of the lecturer is part of our efforts to addressing this situation and ensure that the welfare and rights of our students are upheld,” the statement said, emphasising that the institution was committed to maintaining a conducive learning environment for all students.
The Students Union Government (SUG) of the institution commended the university management for the action against the erring lecturer.
The SUG president, Adamu Habibu Ado, urged all the students to remain calm as the decisions made by the management, according to him, were taken in the best interest of the university community.

He said: “It is imperative for students to abide by the rules and regulations set by the school management, as we strive to uphold the highest standards of character and learning.”
