Education

THE authorities of the Bingham University have said that the university should not be blamed for the actions of the students who were paraded by the Abuja Police Command for allegedly killing a Bolt driver over a scuffle on transport fare.
Reacting to the video that is going round on the social media, the university stated that the paraded students were suspended four months ago for the possession of Marijuana and other illicit substances and should have been placed in a rehabilitation centre by their parents or guardians as required by the school regulations.
In the statement signed by Moonis & Daburi B. Misal Director, Public Affairs of the school, the three students could only be allowed back to the school after certification by the University’s psychiatrist.
“It was therefore shocking to see that students who were supposed to be in rehabilitation were being paraded by the Police in Abuja. While the University maintains zero tolerance for vices, the responsibility of bringing up children is a shared responsibility. The University will, however, continue to do its best to put them on the right path.
“The management pledges its full cooperation with the Police in their investigation of the matter, while expressing its deepest sympathy to the family of the deceased.
“The University hereby reiterates its commitment to producing young men and women, who will continue to serve as agents of positive change and transformation of our nation as evident by the attestations received on our graduates from numerous employers both home and abroad,” the statement said.
