Leadership crisis rocks Federal University Dutsinma By Habibu Umar Aminu, Katsina |

Leadership crisis is rocking the Federal  University Dutsinma, Katsina as the University's governing council under the leadership of Dr Marliya Zayyana and Vice Chancellor Professor Abdu Kaita are at loggerheads. Daily Trust learnt that both parties were accusing each other of undermining each other's authority at the university, a situation which is affecting the smooth running of the institution. Dr Zayyana, our reporter learnt, summoned a meeting where a decision to suspend the VC was taken, an action Professor Kaita said does not hold water, claiming that the members at the meeting were not duly elected by the University's congregation. Speaking with Daily Trust, Zayyana said it was a collective decision of the 19-member council to suspend the VC. She declined further comment. Other sources say the council is accusing the VC of awarding contracts without due procurement procedures. In his swift reaction, Kaita said he wouldn't be intimidated by their action, insisting the meeting where the decision to suspend him was taken, was illegal. The council, he said is hiding behind their failure to implement a nine months staff audit which cost huge amount of resources to arrived at, claiming that the council had a hidden agenda.

Confrontation; But where Are The Other Cs Of Aluta

In the recent time, I have taken a keen interest in observing the success of Students Unionism is Nigeria and I have no record to put together of achievement of this association. The question should be:Why is students unions failing in all institutions and at the national level?   In the olden days, whenever the students send a signal of raising aluta force against any person(s) or constituted authority, irrespective of the cabal involved in the oppression, they begin to shiver and sought for a way of calming the infuriating mood in the students and quickly reach for a solution to please their agitations. And if this is not done, the oppressors stand to lose a lot by the force of the aluta struggle. Unfortunately, in our days, the more we raise aluta force, the worse we begin to lose our weight of victory. What was in the unionism of those days that has been lost in the recent time? Let me relate the eight months scenario in LAUTECH and the STAFEC struggle of TASUED to this note,

The Hitting Fire At TASUED

To silent the critics who have been throwing accusations at me for not saying anything on the issue of Save TASUED And Fund Education Coalition(STAFEC), I will declare my stance here and make my opinions known. Of all messages have received, the one which is of interest to me the most is the words of one Mr. FABULOUS which says "If you remain silent on the part of justice, you are already on the side of the oppressors", and I wouldn't deny that am only responding because of this and I'm going to give my response according to his words.   As a students, it should interest me to understand the situation of things before jumping into action so the captive won't end up as the captors' machinery. To start with, I will outline the cause of the grievance of the students -The increment in Acceptance Fee from #30,000 To #40,000 -School fees #76,500 -Increment of Vocational Studies Fee from #1000 to #25,000 -#10,100 tax clearance which students are enforced to pa
