University of KATSINA HAVE BANNED EVERY RELIGIOUS AND TRIBAL ASSOCIATION IN THE SCHOOL

The management of the Umar Musa Yar’Adua University, Katsina, Katsina State, has banned every religious or tribal associations operating within the campus, except the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, MSN.
The school’s acting Dean of Students’ Affairs, Dr. Sulaiman Kankara passed this notice through a circular, to students’ clubs and associations that were operating on its campus in an internal memorandum dated January 17, 2017.
Sulaiman said the new order was part of the resolutions of the institution’s management at its 59th meeting, which held on January 10, 2017.
The memo reads in part, “The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria is the only religious association allowed to operate in the university.
“All tribal and local government associations are prohibited by the university. Duly registered departmental associations should be allowed to operate, but they should observe item (I) above.”
But a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Norrison Quakers, who is a pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, described the directive by the UMYU authorities as unconstitutional and one that could fuel crisis in the country.
