The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the University of Abuja
Governing Council, Mohammed Ahmed Modibbo, said the institution has engaged the
services of hunters and vigilantes.
The measure followed the abduction of some staff and family
members by bandits last month.
He added that the governing council is also working out a
plan to ensure decent accommodation for staff through the involvement of
investors and other relevant bodies.
Modibbo also advocated innovative ways of enhancing
additional funding for the institutions.
He said UniAbuja was making efforts to also partner with
several international organisations and foreign universities on alternative
funding for the university.
Speaking on sexual harassment in the university system,
Modibbo warned that those found culpable would henceforth be sanctioned
accordingly.
He stated that over 10 cases of such had been transferred to
the university’s disciplinary committee and persons found guilty would be
brought to book.
“There are procedures that have to, first of all, be
established, investigated, reported to the council and the council passed to
the disciplinary committee,” he said.
He, therefore, assured that there will be changes in the way
things are approached in the university.
