Lecturers promise to give students financial support

Also, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), BUK chapter, has promised to deduct N100 from the basic salary of its members to support the students.

The SUG president, Khalid Sanusi said, “We initiated the idea to help the less privileged students in the university, and it successfully started working  in the 2018/2019 academic session and there must be a certain scrutiny before releasing money to a student.”

He explained that ''a student would first write a request letter to the Dean Students Affairs of the university, then the level coordinator and all the presidents of associations of each department must be involved in making sure that the student really deserved to be supported financially''.

Sanusi added that the student union leaders are waiting for the university management to set up a committee that would control the fund as it is not with the SUG.
