The provost, College of Nursing and Midwifery, Rukaiya Shettima Mustapha has been issued a query for suspending some students under the guise that they failed to join their colleagues in welcoming President Muhammadu Buhari.
Juliana Bitrus, the state commissioner of health and human services sent the query demanding a response from the provost in 48 hours why disciplinary action should not be taken against her.
This was made known in a statement shared on the Facebook page of the Borno state government on Friday, June 25.
Juliana in a letter dated June, 25, distanced the state government from the actions of Mustapha, saying she acted on her own.
The commissioner described the provost as being mischievous, adding that she made such a decision without recourse to any official at her ministry and directives from anyone in the state government.
She said though it was a normal practice that students join in welcoming visiting presidents, however, such acts are voluntary.
The commissioner expressed concern that the provost may have used the president’s visit to get at some students she may have had issues with.
