Abia State University Cracks Down on Sale of Expired and Fake Goods

The Abia State University administration, in response to numerous complaints from students and in collaboration with the Student Union Government (SUG), has initiated a rigorous campaign to combat the sale of counterfeit and expired goods on campus.

Led by the Director of Health, Comr. Aniogbu Victor, along with other union executives, an intensive inspection was conducted today across various shops and eateries frequented by students. This operation was spurred by escalating concerns and repeated warnings issued to vendors.

During the crackdown, the taskforce confiscated expired items and temporarily sealed off several establishments found in violation of health and safety regulations. This proactive measure highlights the university's commitment to prioritizing student welfare and ensuring a safe environment for all.
