The Governing Council of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi State, has dismissed one Dr Usman Aliyu from the institution.
Director, Information and Public Relations of the institution, Zailani Bappa, disclosed this during an interview in Bauchi on Thursday.
According to him, the approval of the dismissal of the lecturer was made during the 96th regular meeting of the institution held on April 11, 2025, after he was found guilty of having sexually harassed a married female postgraduate student of the institution.
He said that the student is from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Engineering Technology of the institution.
Mr Bappa stated, “Yes, it’s true, and that was because the lecturer was confirmed guilty of the offence by the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee of the institution. The dismissal was in accordance with the chapter 3, item f, i, (o) of the Senior Staff Conditions of Service of the university. The council has subsequently approved his dismissal from the service of the university with immediate effect.
