Kano varsity suspends lecturer for enforcing corporal punishment on students
The Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, in Kano, has taken action against a lecturer accused of using corporal punishment.
A video that circulated on Monday showed the lecturer administering corporal punishment to students for lateness and noise making in the class, sparking controversy and condemnation.
This unexpected behavior led to a petition from Kano-based Lawyer, Barr. Abba Hikima.
In response, the university identified, queried, and suspended the lecturer.

The statement titled ‘’Re: Viral video on students maltreatment,’’ said the staff in question after the suspension would face the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee for further action.
The statement read,’’ 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 will not be tolerated and go unpunished.’’
‘’The management is also assuring that it will continue to provide conducive learning conditions to the students for them to graduate successfully at the end of their studies.’’
