ADSU IN HEADLINES OVER BAN OF PRESS CLUB

More reactions have continue to trail the purported banning of Press Club of Adamawa State University, Mubi by the school management.

It could be recalled that the circular of the school management dated 28 January, 2020 ban the activities of the club for 3 months with effects from 27 January, 2020, after alleging that the activities of the club is posing threats to the security of other students on campus.

Just of a recent, the tussle between the students' club and the school management has went virile both in the conventional and social media. Among the  prominent newspapers of the country that carries the report includes: *PREMIUMTIMES, "THE NATIONS NIGERIA* and *SPACEREPORTERS* among others.

At the same time, the National Union of Campus Journalists (NUCJ), condemned the ban on the club in her official statement via her twitter handle. Equally, the Northeast wing of NUCJ through their twitter handle condemned the act by calling on the school management to reverse her unpopular decision.

Speaking with Adsugist, a student who pleaded for anonymity lamented over the onslaught on the students' club by the school management. The concern student expressed further that the school management would have just simply tell students in her memo that the activities of the club is posing threat to the school management been the only constructive voice of students, than illogically hiding under security of students to launched attack on the club.

Another student who speak to Adsugist in confidence said that all the allegations levelled against the club is baseless, which according to him, all students in the school now know that there are staff in the school who are literally sharks and enemies of the club, and they were reported for long to be tediously working behind the scene to bring the club to waterloo.

Another concern student said that, the attempt of the school management to rope the club into a cult-related scandal is a scam inched at bullying students into silence. All the cases raise by the school management through the IPO of the school lack merit, because they don't have evidence about the controversial HIKING and  now Grammy/Shield award that school management is forcefully trying to make case out of t.

Concern students of the institution call on the school authority to reverse her decision for peace sake. The concern students who are advocate of justice for the club recommend to the school management to call the leadership of the club for reconciliation owing to the gravity and weight that the case carries, which according to them, very soon outside civil rights organizations like SERAP and Amnesty International will be stepping into the issue if left unreconciled.
