BUK Student Writes Open Letter Decrying Neglect of Student Welfare by Student Union Government

A concerned student of Bayero University Kano (BUK), Comrade Sadeeq Samba, has written an open letter to the university community, highlighting the neglect of student welfare by the Student Union Government (SUG).

The letter outlines several pressing issues, including:

- Poor living conditions and lack of basic hygiene

- Inadequate security, with reports of robberies and fear among students, particularly female executives and students

- Inadequate medical care at the university hospital, with a shortage of essential medicines

- Exploitation by the SUG leadership, prioritizing personal gain over student welfare

- Unnecessary levies and fees imposed on students

Comrade Samba calls upon the student body to demand action from the SUG and prioritize academic life and welfare over entertainment events, such as the planned picnic.

The letter references the SUG Constitution, emphasizing the need for accountability and adherence to guidelines for entertainment events.

This open letter serves as a call to action for the BUK community to demand better representation and prioritization of student welfare.
