Abdullateef Bala Usman reports, The suspended Sales Director of the Students' Union of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS-SU), Comrade Abdullahi Rabiu bemoaned suspension from office and blamed his president, Comrade Lukman Sanusi for embezzlement of union funds. Recall that the Students Representative Assembly, or SRA in its second sitting held at B09 on Sunday 6th of August, 2023 suspended the SU President, Financial Secretary, and Sales Director over a high level of Irresponsibility and financial mismanagement. While reacting to the suspension, Comrade Rabiu claimed innocence of mismanagement of funds saying he did not deserve to be suspended. He lamented bitterly for being suspended from office without proper investigation and not given a chance to defend himself.  “I was so sad when the SRA did not give me a chance to explain myself before the suspension.

By: Muhammad Habibat Sani (UmmuYasmeen) In a plot twist worthy of a Hausa novel, the Suspended Students' Union President seems to have taken inspiration from Flash! The Zero Tolerance for Corruption (ZTC) team, ready for a fair hearing found themselves hanging in suspense as the main character failed to appear at the sitting. Picture this: ZTC members dressed in their detective 'kaftan', eagerly waiting for the 'star of the show' to grace them with his presence. But alas, it seems our dear suspended president has decided to play the hide-and-seek game. Did he stumble into a time twist? Maybe he thought the meeting was set for a few months from now.

ZTC with all the anticipation built up, they were ready to uncover secrets that could rival even the juiciest Tom and Jerry. But alas, all they got was an empty chair and ...

Photo: This is a pictorial illustration by Ummu Yasmeen By Muhammad Habibat Sani  In an astonishing tale of financial mismanagement, the Students' Union executives at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, have turned heads with their questionable money-handling skills. It's like watching a reality show gone wrong, filled with more drama than a Papa Ajasco show! The Students' Union President, Lukman M. Sanusi, and his partners in financial "creativity," Abdullahi Rabi’u and Saidu Abdulrahman, have put on an incredible display that would rival any Hollywood blockbuster. Imagine this: a president who spends an absurd amount of money on car repairs and fuel, as if auditioning for a squirrel taxi service. They've burned through a staggering N55,000 on fuel in just six weeks, leaving us wondering if there's a secret underground squirrel taxi operation going on. And let's not forget the star-studded events that would make even the Oscars green with envy. A fit...
