The Bauchi State Government has announced plans to set up an audit committee to investigate the management of Sa’adu Zungur University, Gadau, with a focus on all funds collected from students and other internal revenue sources.

As part of immediate actions, the government has also relieved the university’s acting Bursar, Ayuba Mohammed Gital, of his appointment over alleged irregularities surrounding his engagement.

The state Governor, Bala Mohammed, made these announcements while receiving the report of the Visitation Panel constituted to address the lingering industrial disputes within the university.

The governor noted that although the government had previously refrained from interfering in the financial operations of the institution, it would now take decisive steps to ensure transparency and accountability in the university’s affairs.

He commended the panel for its thorough work and actionable recommendations assuring the state that the report would be presented to the State Executive Council for deliberation and necessary action.

Presenting the report, the Chairperson of the panel, Professor Gambo Laraba Abdullahi, said the panel engaged with key stakeholders, received numerous memoranda, and inspected facilities across all three campuses of the university.

Professor Gambo expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve, and emphasized the importance of implementing the panel’s recommendations to restore stability and improve the institution’s operations.
