Crisis: Katsina University shut indefinitely

The Senate of Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina state has been closed down the institution indefinitely due to long-drawn-out crisis rocking the institution.

Armiyau Hamisu Bichi, Chairman of the Senate, gave the directive on Friday evening after an emergency meeting by Senate members to close the institution.

A circular signed by Bichi, who is also the institution’s acting Vice Chancellor, however, attributed the closure to security reasons.



The circular further read “the Senate of Federal University of Dutsin-Ma at its 10th emergency meeting held on Friday 2nd June 2017 reviewed the security situation in the university and decided to close down the school indefinitely.”
