The management of the Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria, Kano, Kano State has shut two female hostels over alleged immorality.
The Vice President of Campus Life of the university, Dr. Hamza Garba, made this known to newsmen on Monday in a statement he issued to them.
The shut hostels, which are privately owned but approved by the school, are Al-Ansar and Indabo, located at Hotoro and UDB Road in Kano metropolis respectively.
The two are among the six privately owned hostels approved for use by the school.Garba said: “I am directed by the management to inform and bring to the attention of our esteemed parents and students that the university has withdrawn its approval for Al-Ansar Indabo Female Student Hostels located at UDB Road and Hotoro, respectively.
“Non-compliance resulted in several unwanted situations and activities within the hostel, including immoral conduct, insufficient water and power supply, student violence, unauthorized student movement late at night, and shared facilities with unknown tenants. These issues pose a serious threat to the well-being of our students.
“Accordingly, all affected students are strongly directed to vacate the hostel immediately after the completion of the fall semester examination and to avoid further association for their safety and security. “Meanwhile, the management is collaborating with relevant security agencies to ensure total compliance.”
