Some
lecturers of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, under the auspices of
the Coalition for Transparency, have petitioned the Minister of
Education and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
claiming that a former Dean of the school’s Law Faculty, Professor Nuhu
Mohammed Jamo, embezzled N16m which was donated by the alumni to the
faculty.
The petition signed
by Dr. Armiya’u Dingyadi Umar accused the former dean who served
between 2010 and 201 of handing over only N400,000 to his successor, and
also that he didn’t account for 20 desktop computers donated by the
Federal Capital Territory High Court, as well as two new photocopiers
and a set of five white leather settees for the Dean of Law’s office
that were received as donations from alumni.
The
sum of N4m released to Prof. Jamo by the bursar as faculty-specific
charges in 2011 for faculty development was also converted by the former
dean to his personal use.
According
to the petitioners, efforts to get Prof Jamo to account for every money
and faculty properties unaccounted for had failed. He had allegedly
converted faculty money for personal use, most notably the renovation of
his house at Gaskiya, Zaria. The matter according them had been
reported to the school Vice Chancellor, but he wouldn’t do anything as
they claim he’s in league with Prof. Jamo and would do anythingProf.
Jamo and his group of internal council members wants in order to avoid
clashing with them.
“…we
decided to publicise this matter hoping that justice will be
done. ABU is under siege and needs help before it is grounded by
monumental fraud,” the statement said.
