BUK Students Divided Over Possible SUG Election Cancellation

Tension is mounting at Bayero University Kano (BUK) as uncertainty looms over the fate of the 2025 Students’ Union Government (SUG) election. With the election date coinciding with the ongoing examination period, students are divided over whether the process should proceed as scheduled or be postponed to a later date.

A significant section of the student body has voiced concerns that holding the election during exams could be disruptive. Many fear that the campaign activities, voting process, and potential post-election reactions might interfere with their academic focus. They argue that postponing the election would allow students to concentrate on their studies without distractions.

However, supporters of the election insist that the process should continue as planned. They highlight the time, effort, and resources invested by aspirants, many of whom have been actively campaigning for months. Postponing or canceling the election, they argue, would be unfair to the contestants and could lead to further unrest among students.

Despite the growing debate, the university management has yet to release an official statement regarding the situation. The uncertainty has left students eager for clarity, with many calling for urgent intervention from the administration to resolve the matter.
