Bayero University Students Union Seeks Special Consideration for Final Year and Spill-Over Students

The Students' Union Government (SUG) of Bayero University, Kano, has submitted a formal request to the Vice Chancellor, seeking special consideration for final year and spill-over students facing challenges in completing their studies.

The request highlights the impact of prolonged academic disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and extended strikes, on students who have been in the university since the 2018/2019 academic session.

The SUG seeks a waiver for students with outstanding courses, citing the high registration fees and economic challenges that may force them to abandon their studies.

The union requests the application of Aegrotat degrees and concessional passes as outlined in the university's regulations, to support students who have faced significant academic disruptions.

The SUG's request aims to address the plight of students who have invested considerable time and effort in their studies, and to prevent them from being disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control. The union's appeal underscores the need for flexibility and support in the university's academic policies, particularly for students facing financial and academic challenges.

The request has been submitted by the SUG President, Comr. Abdullahi Usman Baba, on behalf of the affected students, and the union hopes for a favorable response from the university administration.
