The University of Calabar Management has suspended the Vice President of the University of Calabar Students Union Government (SUG), Comr. Agnes Chaidi of the Faculty of Management Sciences for misconduct.
The SUG Vice President is said to have allowed her official vehicle to be used as part of the wild celebrations after examinations in violation of a subsisting ban on such acts.
A letter of suspension signed by the University Registrar, Mr. Gabriel O. Egbe reads in part; “Your actions tantamount to abuse of office and flagrant disregard to the policies of the university which you swore to uphold and obey. As an executive member of the students union Government of the University, one would have expected that you live by example. This, unfortunately is the opposite as seen in your recent actions”.
Her actions are considered lawless and unacceptable as they contravene the Students’ code of conduct as stipulated in the Students’ Handbook, including several memos sent out, cautioning against such acts.
Accordingly, Management has approved her suspension from studies with effect from August 14, 2024.
The SUG Deputy Vice President has been directed to stay away from campus unless when invited by the Students’
Disciplinary Committee, which has been mandated to investigate the matter, and to also show cause why she should continue to hold that office as Deputy Vice President of the University Students Union Government.
Furthermore, the Dean, Faculty of Management Sciences and Dean, Students Affairs have been enjoined to take note of this decision of Management while the Ag. CSO is to ensure that the vehicle attached to her is withdrawn immediately.
