Prof. Aliyu Gadanga Tsafe, Acting Vice Chancellor of the Federal University Gusau, stated that the institution’s administration and security agencies were collaborating closely to secure the release of some students kidnapped recently in Gusau’s Damba district.
Tsafe told reporters in his office that the students were not abducted on university grounds.
Due to the banditry activities ravaging the institution, he urged the federal government, private investors, and wealthy individuals to come to the institution’s aid by providing a hostel for the teeming students.
Tsafe blamed the institution’s kidnappings on a lack of adequate fences and student hostels, claiming that the school’s administration was unhappy that the students were residing outside the school’s premises.
The Acting Vice chancellor said that more funds were needed to erect fences for the protection of the students and the workers in the school.
“We don’t have enough accommodation for the students and workers in the school,” he said.
Recall that some students of the University were kidnapped last Friday.
