Ebonyi State University's Senate has issued an ultimatum to the Student Union Government (SUG) President, Tobias Oshim, following accusations that he embezzled three million naira intended for indigent students. The Senate has given Oshim three days to return the misappropriated funds, with the threat of impeachment looming if he fails to comply.

The ultimatum comes after the Senate, led by Distinguished Senator Usulor Marvelous, released a communique signed by eight other Senators, detailing the allegations against Oshim. The document claims that the SUG President transferred the funds into his personal account without distributing any of the money to the intended beneficiaries—students in need of financial assistance.
