The Management of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN)
has ordered the immediate closure and withdrawal of approval in respect of Al-Ansar Indabo female students’ hostels located at Hotoro and UDB Road in Kano metropolis.
A statement by the Vice President Campus Live, Dr. Hamza Garba on Sunday, said the closure of the hostels was part of the effort being made by the university management to ensure safe, secure and decent hostel accommodation for students as well as to maintain its stance on zero tolerance for any form of immorality from any student of the university.
“I am directed by the Management to write, inform and bring to the attention of our esteemed parents/students that the university has withdrawn its approval for AL-ANSAR INDABO FEMALE STUDENTS HOSTELS located at UDB Road and Hotoro respectively,” it said.
According to the statement, the measure became necessary due to non-compliance with the university’s rules and regulations governing the operation of private hostels.
“The non-compliance resulted in some unwanted situations and activities in the hostel, such as immoral activities, insufficient water and power supply, student violence, unauthorised students’ movement late at night and sharing facilities with unknown tenants, among others, posing a serious threat to the well-being of our students.
“Accordingly, all affected students are strongly directed to vacate the hostel immediately after the completion of the fall semester examination and avoid further association for your safety and security, while the management is collaborating with relevant security agencies to ensure total compliance,” the statement said.
The statement urged both students and parents to note that the university Management will not be responsible for anything that may happen as a result of non-compliance with the order..
